Key concern: loss of internal vista, scissor beams, and architectural character of Registered Building
Patricia S. Newton
ObjectionIt would be a physical desecration of this simple Miners' church and disastrous for its future.; I would therefore object to this application due to its lack of adequate plans, lack of details particularly as it is a Registered Building and the objectionable nature of the proposals including the insertion of a solid wall across the church and the WC.
The Isle Of Man Victorian Society
ObjectionWe strongly urge the Planning Committee to refuse the Registered Building Application under Policy RB/5 and Environment Policy 32 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan as the proposals would seriously affect the special architectural character of the building.; Our objections to the scheme as indicated in our letter of 20th August 2008 remain unchanged.
