DEC Decision Notice

Mr Andrew Bentley RIBA 8 Ravens Wharf South Quay Douglas IM1 5BT

TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING ACT 1999 The Town and Country Planning (Registered Buildings) Regulations 2013

In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act, and subordinate Orders and Regulations, the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture determined to REFUSE an application by Anthony Kevin Moore, Ref 21/00167/CON, for the Registered building consent for alterations and internal works RB. 133 at Woodland Towers Ashley Road Onchan Isle Of Man IM4 5BB for the following reason(s):

1. The unauthorised works have resulted in a negative impact upon the character of the building caused by the raising of the roof, introduction of a dormer, use of uPVC windows and loss of internal detailing. These actions are considered to fail to preserve the special interest of the building and are considered to not comply with Strategic Plan policies SP4, EP32 and EP34, Policies RB/3, RB/5 and RB/10 of Planning Policy Statement 1/01 and are therefore not supported.

Date of Issue: 25th November 2021

Director of Planning and Building Control
