The existing dwelling is a horizontally proportioned property with a variety of windows, some with shutters, one round, some vertically proportioned, some horizontal, some square, some bow, with a centrally positioned front pitched roofed dormer and front single storey mono-pitched porch. The site lies across the road from Parville, a Registered Building and with St. Columba's Church, to the rear. ### Planning Status The site is specifically identified as Residential on the Arbury and East Rushen Local Plan. ### Planning History Planning permission was sought for the erection of a conservatory under PA 97/0903 which was permitted and for the replacement of windows under PA 08/0324 - pending consideration but recommended for approval. ### The Proposal Proposed is the replacement of a single rear door and side windows with a pair of patio doors. The doors will be framed in white plastic with external glazing bars. 8 April 2008 ## Representations Arbory Parish Commissioners indicate that they have no objections to the proposal. ## Assessment The doors will be similar in form to the windows which are to be replaced in the remainder of the building under the contemporaneous application. The building is not Registered or recommended for Registration although between two buildings of interest within the village and within the Conservation Area which was proposed in the Arbory and East Rushen Local Plan. However, until any Conservation Area is designation is adopted, there is no requirement to preserve or enhance the appearance or character of the property and it is unlikely that the present windows and door are either original or replicate the original form of glazing. As such the proposed form of glazing is not objectionable and would not be contrary to the provisions of Planning Circular 1/98. ## Party Status The Department of Transport and the local authority are, by virtue of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2005, paragraph 6 (5) (c) and (d), considered "interested persons" and as such should be afforded party status. ## Recommendation **Recommended Decision:** Permitted **Date of Recommendation:** 06.04.2008 ## Conditions and Notes for Approval / Reasons and Notes for Refusal - C : Conditions for approval - N : Notes attached to conditions - R : Reasons for refusal - O : Notes attached to refusals ### C 1.
