TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING ACT 1999 The Town and Country Planning (Registered Building) Regulations 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 Anne Lee, Ref 17/01065/CON, for the Registered Building consent for the erection of a rear conservatory (in association with 17/01064/GB) Registered Building Nos. 261 at Crofton The Crofts Castletown Isle Of Man IM9 1LW for the following reason(s):

• 1. Due to the proposed materials and general design, the proposed development would not protect or enhance a Registered Building and so be contrary to Isle of Man Strategic Plan (2016) Strategic Policy 4(a).
• 2. Although the later addition of a conservatory on the building may in principle be acceptable, due to the proposed materials and general design, the proposed development would detrimentally affect the character of Registered Building and so be contrary to Strategic Plan (2016) Environment Policy 32.
• 3. The proposal involves the use of modern materials on a pre-1920 building. Although the conservatory is a recent addition, it has been constructed using timber windows. The replacement of these with uPVC is considered contrary to Environment Policy 34.
• 4. The application does not contain sufficient justification or explanation to form a "convincing case" for the works, and in particular the use of uPVC, and so is contrary to Planning Policy Statement 1/01, policy RB/5 and Planning Circular 1/98.
