This application sought Registered Building Consent for internal alterations at 6 Auckland Terrace, Parliament Street, Ramsey. The property is listed on the Isle of Man's Protected Buildings Register as RB 152, meaning any alterations require formal consent. The property forms part of a row of two-storey rendered terraced houses on the northern side of Parliament Street. The proposals also amended works previously approved under earlier consents dating back to 2008 and 2009. The application was approved on 11 December 2009 by a Senior Planning Officer acting under delegated authority, with two conditions attached to the consent.
The application was approved by a Senior Planning Officer under delegated authority. The property is a protected building on the Isle of Man's Protected Buildings Register, so Registered Building Consent was required for the internal alterations. The officer recommended approval and the decision followed that recommendation.
ALTERATIONS AND EXTENSIONS
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.
