29, Devonshire Road, Douglas, Isle Of Man, IM2 3qz
Permission was granted for re-rendering works to a two-storey semi-detached dwelling at 29 Devonshire Road, Douglas. The property is located on the southern side of Devonshire Road and is currently finished in a grey dash render with a tiled pitched roof. The planning officer considered three main issues: the effect of the re-rendering on the appearance of the dwelling, the impact on the visual amenity of nearby residents, and the effect on the character of the street scene. The application was found to be acceptable in all these respects. The decision was made on 24 May 2012 by a Senior Planning Officer acting under delegated authority, with two conditions attached to the permission.
The application was approved by a Senior Planning Officer under delegated authority. The key planning considerations were the effect of the re-rendering on the appearance of the dwelling itself, the visual amenity of nearby residents, and the impact on the wider street scene. The proposal was found to be acceptable on all these grounds.
