Reasons For Refusal
Application Ref No: 04/01594/A
- Whilst the existing building has limited architectural value, it does together with the associated yard area, form part of the historic fabric of the Conservation Area in Peel. The Planning Committee is not persuaded that the character and appearance of the Conservation Area would be preserved or enhanced by the redevelopment proposals submitted in that:
a. The proposed two dwellings would have insufficient amenity or private space and would have an awkward relationship with the proposed parking arrangements to the rear.
b. The use of dormers on the front roof slope of the dwellings would be out of keeping the existing dwellings fronting onto Circular Road.
c. The height and mass of the apartment block would be out of keeping with surrounding properties, which would result in the overlooking of dwellings in Stanley Road, particularly Number 5, causing a loss of privacy to the occupants residing therein.
- This decision was made by the Planning Committee constituted in accordance with Paragraph 2 of Schedule 1 of the Isle of Man Planning Scheme (Development Plan) Order 1982.
