St Germans Cathedral, Derby Road, Peel, Isle Of Man, IM5 1hh
This application sought Registered Building consent for works inside St German's Cathedral in Peel, Isle of Man. The proposed works involved installing a nave organ and modifying the ends of all aisle pews so they could be moved. The cathedral is a registered building (RB 204) situated within the Peel Conservation Area, meaning any internal alterations required formal consent to protect its historic character. The application was approved on 23 August 2010 by the Director of Planning and Building Control under delegated authority, with two conditions attached.
The application was approved by the Department of Infrastructure under delegated authority. Registered Building consent was granted for the installation of a nave organ and alterations to pews inside St German's Cathedral, a listed building within the Peel Conservation Area.
ALTERATIONS AND EXTENSIONS
As the Cathedral is Registered Building (RB 204) and located within the Peel Conservation Area designated in 1990, the content of this application has been considered with particular regard to Policy RB/5 ALTERATIONS AND EXTENSIONS as set out within Planning Policy Statement 1/01- Policy and Guidance Notes for the Conservation of the Historic Environment of the Isle of Man.
POLICY RB/5 ALTERATIONS AND EXTENSIONS In considering whether to grant planning approval for development which affects a registered building or its setting and in considering whether to grant registered building consent for any works, the Department shall have special regard to the desirability of preserving the building or its setting or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses. Registered building consent is required for the building's alteration in any way which would affect its special architectural or historic character. There will be a general presumption against alteration or extension of registered buildings, except where a convincing case can be made, against the criteria set out in this section, for such proposals. Applicants for registered building consent for alteration or extension to a registered building must be able to justify their proposals. They will be required to show why the works which would affect the character of the registered building are desirable or necessary and they should provide full information to enable the Department to assess the likely impact of their proposals on the special architectural or historic interest of the building and on its setting. Where registered buildings are the subject of successive applications for alteration or extension, consideration will also be given to the cumulative affect upon the building's special interest as a result of several minor works which may individually seem of little consequence.
