In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act and Order the PLANNING COMMITTEE of the Department of Local Government and the Environment does hereby REFUSE the following application made on behalf of:

**Name:** Street Heritage Ltd
**Proposal:** Installation of lantern roof light
**at:** Quirks Coalyard, Smithy Site, Viking Longhouse
East Quay
Peel
Isle Of Man

which was considered on 10th October 2008, for the reasons set out below.

**Date of Issue:** 13th October 2008

Douglas

Deputy Secretary to the Planning Committee

### Reason(S) For Refusal:

1. The proposed lantern light appears incongruous and cumbersome, failing to respect the proportion, form and materials of what is an otherwise well-conceived and prominent development situated within the Peel Conservation Area. As such, the proposal fails to preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the area.

**Note:** On the conclusion of the planning application process, this retrospective development shall be referred to the Department's Enforcement Officer.

This decision was made by the Planning Committee constituted in accordance with Article 3(1) of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2005.
