The application sought permission to install a replacement side door at a property within a Conservation Area in Braddan. The key planning issue was whether the replacement door would harm the character or appearance of the Conservation Area, as required by Section 18(4) of the Town and Country Planning Act (1999). The decision notice confirms that the proposed door would cause no harm to the Conservation Area and that its design preserves the character of the site. The proposal was found to accord with Planning Policy Statement 1/01, Strategic Policies 3 and 4, General Policy 2 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016, and the Design Guide.
The replacement door was permitted because it would not harm the Conservation Area, satisfying the statutory test under Section 18(4) of the Town and Country Planning Act (1999). Its design was judged to preserve the character of the site and comply with relevant Isle of Man strategic and design policies.
Condition 1
The development hereby approved shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this decision notice.
