DEC Decision Notice

Penketh - Millar 23 West Quay Ramsey Isle Of Man IM8 1DL

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 APPROVE an application by Mrs Dawn Collins, Ref 19/01225/B, for the Conversion and erection of extension to former public house to create a residential dwelling (in association with 19/01226/CON) at Ship Inn Hope Street Castletown Isle Of Man IM9 1AS and subject to compliance with the following condition(s) and notes (if any):

• 1. The development hereby approved shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this decision notice.

Reason: To comply with article 14 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No2) Order 2013 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.

• 2. Prior to the installation of any new or replacement windows or doors on the north, south or western elevations of the original building which fronts onto Hope Street, details of these must be approved by the Department and the development undertaken in accordance with these details.

Reason: the opening style is not clarified on the drawings and the site lies within a Conservation Area where there is a requirement for development to preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the area. As shown, the proposed doors and glazing at ground floor on the Hope Street elevation are not considered to be sympathetic to the historic and architectural character of the property and as such the installation of these features would neither preserve nor enhance the character or appearance of the property, contrary to EP35 and CA/2 of Planning Policy Statement 1/01.

This decision relates to drawings 1, 02, 03, 04, 05A, 06A and 07A all received on 5th November, 2019.

Date of Issue: 28th January 2020
