In pursuance of powers granted under the above Acts and Order the Department of Local Government and the Environment does hereby REFUSE the following application made on behalf of:
Name: Allegro Ltd Proposal: Installation of uPVC bottom opening casement windows to replace existing 1st and 2nd floor windows at: 9 Parliament Street & Court Row Ramsey Isle Of Man IM8 1JS

Reasons For Refusal:

- This decision was made by the Planning Committee constituted in accordance with Paragraph 2 of Schedule 1 of the Isle of Man Planning Scheme (Development Plan) Order 1982.
