Union Mills
Braddan

## Town and Country Planning Act 1999

### The Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No 2) Order 2013

In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act and Order the Department of Infrastructure determined to REFUSE a planning application by Omer Vahaplar & Marvic Sciberras, Ref 14/00574/B, for the installation of replacement windows to ground floor bay windows at Flat 1 12 Derby Road Douglas Isle Of Man IM2 3ET for the following reason(s):

1. As the method of opening of the proposed windows would not replicate the method of opening of the original windows the proposal fails to accord with provisions of Planning Circular 1/98 - The Alteration and Replacement of Windows. Furthermore, the proposed windows do not either preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Conservation Area, as such the proposal fails to accord with the provisions of Environment Policy 35 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007.

Date of Issue: 26th June 2014

Director of Planning and Building Control
