Removal of unused chimney stack

Why Was This Approved?

• ✓Removal of a single unused chimney stack at a terraced property
• ✓Most other chimney stacks along the terrace had already been removed
• ✓Roofs not readily visible due to the narrow terrace layout
• ✓Decision made under delegated authority

This application sought permission to remove an unused chimney stack at 1 Barrack Lane, Ramsey. The application was permitted by the Director of Planning under delegated powers. The officer observed that the majority of chimney stacks along the terrace had already been removed, and that the roofs are not easily seen from street level due to the narrowness of the terrace. These factors supported the view that removing the remaining stack would not cause significant harm to the character or appearance of the area. No conditions or refusal reasons were recorded beyond the two conditions attached to the permission.

Permission was granted by delegated authority for the removal of an unused chimney stack. The officer noted that most chimney stacks along the terrace had already been removed, and that the roofs are not readily visible due to the narrowness of the terrace, meaning the change would have limited visual impact.
