Application No.: 09/00807/B Applicant: Mr Kevin Roy \& Mrs Jacqueline Fiona Barbet Proposal: Installation of roof lights, replacement windows / doors, rendering and roofing works to dwelling Site Address: Castle Street Peel Isle Of Man IMS 1AL ### Considerations Case Officer : Mr Gary Barr Expected Decision Level: Senior Planning Officer ### Written Representations ### Consultations Consultee : Highways Division Notes : Consultee : Peel Town Commissioners Notes: Approve
The application site comprises the residential curtilage of 24 Castle Street in Peel which is a two storey detached cottage.
The proposed application seeks approval for the replacement of the front and back doors with painted hardwood "stable like" doors and the replacement of the existing windows to the front and rear elevations with timber sliding sash.
The dwelling would be re-rendered to match the existing and the roof would be fitted with natural slate, together with two Velux rooflights installed to the rear elevation of the property. The north western chimney stack would be reduced in height to match the original.
In terms of local plan policy, the application site is located within an area designated as being "Mixed Use" and within the "Conservation Area" under the Peel Local Plan, 1989. There is a policy within the Peel Written Statement (Planning Circular 6/89), which is considered specifically material to the assessment of this current planning application - Policy 9.16 states:
"Particular attention will be paid to the alteration or extension of a building within the Conservation Area which must be carried out in a manner sympathetic to the existing building and its setting".
The Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007 contains two policies which are considered specifically material to the assessment of this current planning application - General Policy 2 states: "Development which is in accordance with the land-use zoning and proposals in the appropriate Area Plan and with other policies of this Strategic Plan will normally be permitted, provided that the development:
Environment Policy 35 states: "Within Conservation Areas, the Department will permit only development which would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Area, and will ensure that the special features contributing to the character and quality are protected against inappropriate development".
Whilst the application site has been the subject of previous planning applications it is considered that none of these are specifically relevant to the assessment of the current planning application.
The Peel Town Commissioners have approved the proposed development. The Department of Transport Highways Division have not commented on the proposal.
It is considered that the proposed alterations would be acceptable as it respects the application site and surroundings in terms of the form and design. The replacement windows, doors and slate roof, together with the re-rendering of the dwelling, are all collectively regarded as improvements which respect the Conservation Area in which it is situated. As such, the proposed alterations would be inkeeping with the character of the existing property and the surrounding area, which would be
sympathetic to its setting and would ensure that the special features contributing to the character of the Conservation Area are preserved.
It is judged that the proposed development would comply with Planning Circular 6/89 - Policy 9.16 and Environment Policy 35 and General Policy 2 of Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007 and it is recommended that this planning application should be permitted.
It is considered that the following parties, who submitted comments, accord with the requirements of Planning Circular 1/06 and are therefore, afforded Interested Party Status:
The Department of Transport Highways Division Peel Town Commissioners
