Officer’s Report THE SITE

1.1 The site is a mid terraced dwelling with three storeys of accommodation, situated on the eastern side of Bridge Street. The property has buildings which are lower on each side and has sliding sash windows with a Georgian pane formed from externally expressed glazing bars, all framed in uPVC. The door is a relatively modern one with six square panels in the lowest third with nine small bevelled glass panes above. There is a rectangular fanlight above but no sidelights or any particular detailing. THE PROPOSAL - 2.1 Proposed is the replacement of the door with a wood effect composite door (colours to choose from being white, dark green, dark blue or red) with six panels, although the drawings shows four panels, two smaller beneath the door handle and two longer above.

• PLANNING POLICY
• 3.1 The site lies within an area of Mixed Use on the Peel Local Plan of 1989 and within the town's Conservation Area. As such, the most relevant planning policies to be applied to this development are EP35 and PPS 1/01 which encourage the preservation or enhancement of the Area and presume against development which does not achieve this. PLANNING HISTORY
• 4.1 The property, and others in Bridge Street have been the subject of many applications for alterations and extensions including the replacement of windows and doors, none of which is particularly relevant in this case. REPRESENTATIONS
• 5.1 Highway Services indicate that they have no highway interest in the application (07.12.18).

5.2 Peel Town Commissioners have no objection (13.12.18). ASSESSMENT - 6.1 The door is simple and of an appropriate form with a traditional layout of panels and not dissimilar to other doors within the streetscene. It is not considered necessary to control the colour of the door as a timber door could be painted any colour without planning approval. CONCLUSION - 7.1 The proposal complies with the necessary policies and is supported. INTERESTED PERSON STATUS - 8.1 By virtue of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No 2) Order 2013 Article 6(4), the following persons are automatically interested persons:

• (a) The applicant, or if there is one, the applicant's agent;
• (b) The owner and the occupier of any land that is the subject of the application or any other person in whose interest the land becomes vested;
• (c) Any Government Department that has made written submissions relating to planning considerations with respect to the application that the Department considers material
• (d) Highway Services Division of Department of Infrastructure and
• (e) The local authority in whose district the land the subject of the application is situated. 8.2 The decision maker must determine:

• o whether any other comments from Government Departments (other than the Department of Infrastructure Highway Services Division) are material; and
• o whether there are other persons to those listed in Article 6(4) who should be given Interested Person Status.

I can confirm that this decision has been made by the Head of Development Management in accordance with the authority afforded to that Officer by the appropriate DEFA Delegation.
