Highways Division and Arbory Parish Commissioners raised no objections or comments, while Mr and Mrs Allinson objected specifically to the proposed wooden cladding on the first floor extension due to its incompatibility with the existing Manx stone character.
Key concern: proposal to clad the new first storey extension in wood, would in our opinion be aesthetically totally out of character with the existing age and type of dwelling
Mr Mrs Allinson
Conditional No ObjectionWe have no objections in principle to this planning proposal but do have strong objections to the external materials proposed; the extension should be in keeping with the existing properties and built in Manx Stone; it would be relatively easy to blend in with the existing Manx stone. The end result would ensure that the two properties would truly look as one, rather than two buildings joined by a totally different material, different in both colour and texture
