26 August 2005 · Committee
Isle Of Man Breweries, Queens Hotel, Queens Promenade, Douglas, Isle Of Man, IM2 4nl
This application sought consent to install three Hulmann umbrellas on the forecourt of the Queens Hotel on Queens Promenade, Douglas. The application was linked to a related listed building consent application (05/00551/GB) and was considered by committee. The main planning issues examined were the effect of the umbrellas on the appearance of the listed building, the character and appearance of the Conservation Area, and any impact on neighbouring properties. Officers noted that the forecourt already formed part of the hotel's curtilage and was in established use by customers, which was also in keeping with pavement café initiatives. The application was permitted on 26 August 2005, subject to three conditions, with the approval relating specifically to the letter and drawings received on 27 July 2005.
