Representations
The Isle of Man Victorian Society has 'no objections to the changes to the structure as indicated on the plans.' Standard Comments have been received by Manx Electricity Authority The Department of Transport do not oppose the application
Assessment
This content of application has been considered with particular regard to POLICY RB/5 ALTERATIONS AND EXTENSIONS as set out within Planning Policy Statement 1/01.
There is no indication give on the application of the historic nature of the existing fabric, so consideration of the application is difficult. Additional photos have been requested and received from the applicants showing the interior of the property. These photos are very useful as they show that the partitions and doors are modern and of no historic interest.
On the basis of the above, the proposals are not considered to have a negative impact on the character of the Registered Building and are therefore acceptable.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the application be approved.
Party Status:
The Department of Transport and the local authority are, by virtue of The Registered Buildings Regulations 2005, paragraph 6 (5) (c) and (e), considered "interested persons" and as such should be afforded party status.
The comments from the Manx Electricity Authority are not a material consideration and should not be afforded party status in this instance.
