Isle Of Man Breweries, George Hotel, The Parade, Castletown, Isle Of Man, IM9 1lg
This application sought permission to install a single microcell panel antenna on the front elevation of The George Hotel in Castletown, a Registered Building. The application was refused by committee. The officer recommended refusal on the basis that the antenna would result in a cluttered appearance and detract from the appearance of the building and its wider setting. The building's status as a Registered Building was a central concern, as proposals affecting such structures are held to a higher standard of scrutiny regarding their visual impact.
The application was refused by committee on 1 September 2004. The site is a Registered Building, and the proposed antenna was considered likely to create a cluttered appearance that would harm the look of the building and its setting.
