Application No.: 10/01753/B Applicant: Manx National Heritage Proposal: Installation of replacement windows (Retrospective) Site Address: Weavers Cottage (formerly Thie Y Fidder) Cregneash Isle Of Man ### Considerations Case Officer : Mrs Jade Craig Expected Decision Level: Senior Planning Officer ### Written Representations ### Consultations Consultee : Highways Division Notes : Consultee : Rushen Commissioners Notes: no objection. Consultee : Planning Enforcement Officer Notes :
The application site represents the curtilage of an existing detached property, Weavers Cottage, Cregneash Village.
The property was extensively remodelled from a traditional single storey thatched cottage to a two storey dwelling during the 1920's and 1930's. The property is part of Manx National Heritage's National Folk Museum at Cregneash.
Proposed is the retrospective installation of replacement windows. The windows subject to this elevation are two sliding sashes on the ground floor of the front (south) elevation and one fixed circular window on the first floor of the side (west) elevation.
The windows have been replaced like-for-like, in terms of their material, joinery design, glazing pattern and method of opening. The material and finishing is painted timber.
There are no previous planning applications which are considered relevant in the assessment and determination of this application.
The application site is located within an Area of High Landscape or Coastal Value and Scenic Significance and an area Owned by the Manx Museum and National Trust, in the Isle of Man Planning Scheme (Development Plan) Order 1982. Cregneash Village is also indicated as an Ancient Monument.
Cregneash is an area where the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (Permitted Development) Order 2005 are suspended under Government Circular 7/06.
The relevant planning policy from the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007 is General Policy 2. In addition to this, Policy 7 from Planning Circular 1/98 (The Alteration and Replacement of Windows) is also relevant. Policy 7 states that "If repair is impracticable or the existing windows are not the originals, the preference will be for replacement windows on the said principal elevations, to have the same method of opening as the originals. Whatever the material used in their construction, the windows MUST HAVE the same or similar pattern and section of glazing bars and the same or similar frame sections as the original windows."
Rushen Parish Commissioners have no objection to this application.
No written responses have been received from the general public.
The proposal involves replacing three windows on the front and side elevation of the property with identical features. It is considered that the replacements would be appropriate for the property and would comply with the requirements of the planning policies.
For the above reasons, this proposal is considered to be acceptable and is recommended for approval.
The local authority is, by virtue of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2005, paragraph 6 (5) (c) and (d), considered an "interested person" and as such should be afforded party status.
Recommended Decision: Permitted Date of Recommendation: 17.01.2011 Conditions and Notes for Approval / Reasons and Notes for Refusal
This approval relates to the retrospective installation of replacement windows, as shown in drawing number 10/2326/03, date stamped 26 November 2010.
I confirm that this decision accords with the appropriate Government Circular delegating functions to the Senior Planning Officer.
