DEC Decision Notice
Viking Glazing Ltd Unit 3 Harmat Court Balthane Industrial Estate Ballasalla
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 Mrs Sarah Devereau, Ref 22/00351/CON, for the Registered Building consent for Installation of replacement windows to front and side elevations (In association with PA 22/00350/GB) Registered Building Nos. 174 at 1 Albert Terrace Douglas Isle Of Man IM1 3LQ for the following reason(s):
- The proposals fail the statutory tests within section 16 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1999 as they do not preserve the building or its features of special architectural interest. In addition to the statutory test, it is also judged that the proposals fail the tests of Strategic Policy 4, Environment Policies 32 and 34 of the IOM Strategic Plan 2016 as the registered building is not being protected, the registered building's character is being detrimentally affected and the materials are not traditional. It is therefore judged to be unacceptable.
Date of Issue: 26th April 2022
Director of Planning and Building Control
