The site represents the curtilage of the Shamyr Hey Tea Rooms, 41 Michael Street within the Peel Conservation Area. The building sits on a footprint with a small external seating space facing into Atholl Place.
The site has been the subject of the following applications:
The proposed is the retention of advertising signage to the Shamyr Hey Tea Rooms, 41 Michael Street, Peel.
REPRESENTATIONS
Peel Town Commissioners RECOMMEND REFUSAL. They state:
"These premises are in the heart of the conservation Area and it is felt by the Commissioners that there is a surfeit of advertising signage both on the tea room windows and on the stand alone signs on the outside seating area."
The Highways Division of the Department of Transport Do Not Oppose the application.
A resident of The Eaves, 26, Derby Road states:
"The proposed signs are not in keeping with any of Peels conservation area in any form,..."
The Conservation Officer has provided the following assessment of the application:
"I have considered the content of the application with particular consideration to Policy CA/2 SPECIAL PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS for Conservation Areas as set out within Planning Policy Statement 1/01.
The property has an over abundance of signage which causes visual clutter to the frontage of this building in a highly prominent position in the Peel Conservation Area. Whilst I accept that not a great deal can be done to remove the free standing signage, that that is fixed to the building has to be considered too much. I consider that this has an adverse affect on the character of the Conservation Area."
I would concur with the views expressed by the Conservation Officer, and would recommend that should the application be refused, the applicant be advised to remove the signs within 28 days of the date of the decision.
Recommend Refusal of this application.
The Department of Transport and the local authority are, by virtue of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2005, paragraph 6 (5) (c) and (d), considered "interested persons" and as such should be afforded party status.
It is considered that the occupier of The Eaves, 26 Derby Road, Peel who submitted comments, does not accord with the requirements of Planning Circular 1/06, given their distance from the application site, and are therefore not afforded interested party status. The Disability Access Officer is also not afforded interested party status.
Recommended Decision: Refused
Date of Recommendation: 24.11.2006
C : Conditions for approval N : Notes attached to conditions R : Reasons for refusal O : Notes attached to refusals
R 1.
The property has an over abundance of signage which causes visual clutter to the frontage of this building in a highly prominent position in the Peel Conservation Area, as such, the signage adversely affects the character of the Conservation in this location.
I confirm that this decision accords with Government Circular Nos 44/05 (Delegation of Functions to Director of Planning and Building Control) and 47/05 (Delegation of Functions to Senior Planning Officer)
Decision Made : Refused Date : 8/12/06
