Mrs Olwen Watterson Sheear 2 Derby Road Peel Isle Of Man IM5 1HH
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 Mrs Olwen Watterson, Ref 16/00816/B, for the Installation of replacement windows at Sheear 2 Derby Road Peel Isle Of Man IM5 1HH for the following reason(s):
- The replacement of sliding sash windows on the front elevation in the heart of the Conservation, with casement windows would undermine the character and attractiveness of the area where the majority of properties have sliding sash windows - either their originals or newer modern replacements and would be contrary to the provisions of Environment Policy 35 and Planning Policy Statement 1/01 both of which require development to preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Conservation Area.
NOTE The applicant is recommended to consider a further application for the replacement of the rear windows with casement windows which may comply with the Department's guidance on such development, not being publicly visible other than possibly at some distance from the grounds of the Cathedral.
