ADAM Architecture Mr R Powell Somerset House The Strand London WC2R 1LA
TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING ACT 1999 The Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2019
In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act and Order the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture determined to APPROVE an application by Mrs Ann & Mr David Giroux, Ref 24/00341/GB, for the Demolition of existing attached single storey garage and erection of a replacement single storey garage on south elevation (in association with RB consent application 24/00342/CON) at Bishopscourt House Bishopscourt Kirk Michael Isle Of Man IM6 2EZ .
Any conditions or notes which apply to the approval are set out below. This approval is subject to compliance with any conditions listed and may not be implemented until it becomes final (see guidance notes).
Reason: To comply with Article 26 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2019 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
This decision relates to drawings 6296 PL900-A, 6296 PL901, 6296 PL902, 6296 PL903, 6296 PL904, 6296 PL905-A, 6296 PL906, 6296 PL907-A, 6296 PL908, 6296 PL909-A, 6296 PL910-A and 6296 PL911-B received on 17th April 2024, together with the materials statement and planning statement also received on 17th April 2024.
This decision has been made for the following reasons(s) The proposals within this application are judged to have both negative and positive impacts on the significance of this registered building. The introduction of a flat roof on the replacement garage is considered to cause harm to the special interest, although this harm is judged to be less than substantial given that it is not considered to seriously affect a key element of the building's special architectural or historic interest. The re-instatement of the Theological College porch and ground floor window, together with the re-instatement of the principal elevation garden wall and gate, all considered to enhance the special historic interest of the building. As a result, on balance it is considered that the less than substantial harm is offset by the enhancements, and that therefore the application meets the tests of section 16 of the Act as the building's setting and features of special interest are being
preserved. The application is also judged to be in accordance with Strategic Policy 4, General Policy 2, and Environment Policies 32 and 34 of the Strategic Plan as the proposals would protect and preserve the special interest of the registered building and its setting, respect the site and surroundings, and traditional materials are being used. The application is therefore judged to be acceptable.
