**Document:** Officer Planning Report **Application:** 06/00915/B — Installation of uPVC casement windows to replace existing on front and rear elevations and replacement front door and surround **Decision:** Permitted **Decision Date:** 2006-07-17 **Parish:** Rushen **Document Type:** report / officer_report **Source:** https://planningportal.im/a/80728-rushen-pretoria-four-roads-windows-replacement/documents/1470095 --- # Officer Planning Report ## Planning Report And Recommendations [Table omitted in markdown export] ## Considerations [Table omitted in markdown export] ## Written Representations ## Consultations [Table omitted in markdown export] [Table omitted in markdown export] ## Officer's Report ### The Site The site represents the curtilage of a detached residential property which lies to the south west of Four Roads roundabout on the western side of the road. The site accommodates the dwelling together with a small front garden and rear/side garden/yard with parking which is accessed from the car park immediately to the south. ### Planning Status The site lies within an area designated on the Isle of Man Planning Scheme (Development Plan) Order 1982 as Residential. ### Planning History There have been no planning applications submitted in respect of this site. ### The Proposal Proposed is the replacement of the existing single-glazed timber framed sliding sash windows with plastic framed top hung casements and the replacement of existing timber solid doors with plastic solid panelled doors with two vertical lights glazed with decorative glass. ### Assessment A number of other properties in this streetscene have plastic framed casements (PAs 97/0710, 00/1106 and 01/1538 for "Myrtle Bank", "Shenvalla" and "Bankfield" respectively to name but three). Planning Circular 1/98 suggests that whatever the method of opening, replacement windows in properties such as these should replicate the glazing pattern, which this proposal will achieve. The Department's preference is for replacement with the same form of opening. However, given the replacement of windows in other properties in the vicinity with similar windows, I would suggest that the proposal is acceptable. ### Party Status Port St. Mary Commissioners are statutory authorities and as such should be afforded party status in this instance. ### Recommendation Recommended Decision: Permitted Date of Recommendation: 11.07.2006 ### Conditions and Notes for Approval / Reasons and Notes for Refusal C : Conditions for approval N : Notes attached to conditions R : Reasons for refusal - : Notes attached to refusals C 1.
