# DEC Decision Notice

Island Catering & Heating Engineers Ltd Mr W Sherburn 100 Magnerosen Port Erin Isle Of Man

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 Environment, Food and Agriculture determined to APPROVE an application by Mr Geoffrey Tang, Ref 17/01307/B, for the Installation of an extractor system (retrospective) at 16 Michael Street Peel Isle Of Man IM5 1HB.

Any conditions or notes which apply to the approval are set out below. This approval is subject to compliance with any conditions listed and may not be implemented until it becomes final (see guidance notes).

This approval relates to site location plan and 4 x site photographs all date stamped and received 20/12/2017 and an email from the agent also dated 20th December 2017.

This decision has been made for the following reasons(s) While generally this type of development is not sought in Conservation Areas, the location of this flue benefits from being enclosed with a rear area of the buildings and not visible from any public thoroughfare. As such, the external flue is not considered to impact upon the character and quality of Peel Conservation Area. Given the standard of flue installed it is not likely that the proposal will result in significant harm on the neighbouring amenity to warrant a refusal. It could be noted that if at any time any harm does arise relative to noise and smells that this could be an issue raised with Environmental Health for further investigation and consideration. For these reasons the proposal is considered to comply with the provisions set out in General Policy 2 (b), (c) and (g), Environment Policy 22 and Environment Policy 35 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016 and as such is recommended for approval.

Date of Issue: 29th March 2022

## Director of Planning and Building Control

This approval does not remove the need to also comply with any other relevant legislation.

Any conditions requiring certain works, submissions etc. prior to commencement of development must be fulfilled prior to work starting on site. Failure to adhere to this approval and meet the requirements of all conditions may invalidate this approval or result in formal enforcement action.
