# Decision Notice

Specialised Glazing Solutions Ltd 41 Bemahague Avenue Onchan IM3 4AP

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 REFUSE an application by Mr Mark Notman, Ref 18/00790/B, for the Installation of a replacement front door with sidelights and toplight at 2 Victoria Road Port St. Mary Isle Of Man IM9 5AF for the following reason(s):

1. The proposed door and surrounds would fail to replicate the details and proportions of the existing and thus detract from the character and appearance of not only the property, but the surrounding terraces which are identified as being worthy of consideration for Conservation Area status. As such, the proposal fails to accord with Environment Policy 35 and Planning Policy Statement 1/01 which provide guidance on Conservation Areas.
