The officer noted the site is a two-storey terraced dwelling in a predominantly residential area per the Douglas Local Plan 1998, not in a conservation area.
General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in line with area plans if it respects site/surroundings in siting, scale, design; does not adversely affect townscape character or locality amenity. Officer tested the render finish against street scene: majority smooth render prevails over one similar example at 49 Castlemona Avenue. Proposal failed as pea dash not in-keeping, harming aesthetics and visual amenity.

The original application 08/01224/B for re-rendering the front elevation was refused on 10 September 2008. Mr & Mrs Moore appealed on grounds that nearby properties already have pebble dash and that a planning officer's comment indicated the area's character had changed due to dormer windows, making the proposal non-detrimental. The appeal (AP08/0188) was accepted on 15 September 2008 and referred for written representations and potential oral hearing by an independent person. However, the appellants withdrew the appeal on 18 September 2008. The refusal decision therefore stands, with no inspector's analysis or final appeal determination.
Precedent Value
This withdrawn appeal sets no precedent as it did not proceed to determination. Future applicants should ensure commitment to pursuing appeals fully, as early withdrawal leaves the original refusal intact.
