Permission was granted for a range of works at 4 Christian Street, Ramsey, Isle of Man. The proposal included a new roof, a new first-floor window, conversion of an existing loading door into a window, installation of a loading beam, reopening of a gable-end aperture as a loading door, a new first-floor access with a steel staircase from the ground-floor courtyard, and a small ground-floor extension at the northern end. The site contains two buildings: a two-storey pitched-roof building on the west boundary and a single-storey hipped-roof building on the south boundary. The two-storey building shares party walls with a dwelling house and an industrial building. The site was vacant at the time of the application. The officer considered the impact on the building itself, the character and streetscene of the area, and the amenities of neighbouring occupiers before recommending approval.

The application was permitted on 20 August 2024 under delegated authority. The officer assessed the proposal against its impact on the building itself, the character and streetscene of the area, and the amenities of neighbouring occupiers, and recommended approval.
