Officer's Report

The Site

The application site relates to the detached dwelling Thie-Y-Schoill which is situated on the eastern side of Kionslieu Hill, Foxdale.

The Proposal

This application seeks approval for the installation of replacement windows to the rear elevation of the property. The existing windows are a mixture of timber casements and sliding sash windows, most of which have Georgian glazing bars. The proposed windows would be uPVC casement windows with Georgian glazing bars.

Planning Status

The application site is located within an area identified as being residential use by the Foxdale Local Plan.

Planning History

The following previous planning application is considered relevant in the assessment and determination of this application:

94/01512/B sought permission for the replacement of front windows and door. This was permitted.

Representations

Patrick Parish Commissioners have not commented on this application at the time of writing. The Commissioners requested that the decision be deferred until 14th June (which has now passed) and the expiry for comment date was 10th June.

Highways Division does not object to this application.

Assessment

The existing windows are a mixture of styles and whilst the sliding sash windows are attractive, the proposed replacement windows would have a Georgian glazing bar pattern and would unify the windows on the rear elevation.

Whilst the building is old, it is not within a Building Conservation Area and the Local Plan does not identify it as building of interest. It is judged that given the above, the proposal is acceptable.

Recommendation

Permit.

Party Status

It is considered that the following parties, who submitted comments, accord with the requirements of Planning Circular 1/06 and are therefore, afforded Interested Party Status:

Patrick Parish Commissioners Accordingly the following parties are not granted Interested Party Status:
