This application sought permission to relocate existing roof-level air conditioning plant, create a screen, and remove a hand railing at the Manx Co-op on The Parade in Castletown. The works were associated with a linked listed building consent application. The application was refused by the Senior Planning Officer acting under delegated authority. The decision was based on the visual impact of the proposed structure, which was considered out of place at roof level. The structure was found to be detrimental to the outlook from the neighbouring property at 7 The Parade, and harmful to the character and appearance of both the Conservation Area and the registered (listed) building to which it would be attached.

The application was refused because the proposed structure was considered an incongruous feature above ground level. It was judged harmful to the outlook from the neighbouring property at 7 The Parade, and damaging to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and the listed building to which it would be attached.
