DEC Decision Notice
Mr T O'Hanlon 2 Kermode Close Crosby Marown IM4 4BS
TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING ACT 1999 The Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure)(No 2) Order 2013
In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act and Order the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture determined to REFUSE an application by Mr Steve Jopson, Ref 19/00287/B, for the Installation of replacement first and second floor windows at 1 Brunswick Road Douglas Isle Of Man IM2 3LL for the following reason(s):
- Strategic Policy 4 and Environmental Policy 35 sets out the test for development in Conservation Areas in that it must 'preserve or enhance' the Conservation Area. The proposed alterations to this building, occupying a prominent location within the Selbourne Conservation Area would result in significant detriment to the character and appearance of the building that would be detrimental to its character within the setting of the local street scene thereby failing to preserve or enhance the conservation area as a whole. The proposal to install upvc double glazed windows in the first and second floors of the front elevation of this building would therefore fail the tests set by of General Policy 2 and Strategic Policy 4 and Environmental Policy 35.
