Dear Sirs Thank you for advising us of the appeal regarding Leyton, Victoria Road, Douglas. We would like to make the following comment to be included at the hearing:-

We wish to object to the appeal against the construction of two new houses to replace Leyton.

This property is now a registered building and the applicant’s appeal to deregister was refused. In view of this we cannot understand how this application is even being considered and being forwarded to the Cabinet Office. Surely the owners should, in fact, be under instruction to remedy the neglect suffered by the property over recent years.

Our original views still stand in that it is a beautiful property with considerable architectural heritage. We live a hundred yards away in a registered Baillie Scott house and feel that Leyton contributes to the Arts and Crafts architecture of the entire Island.

Please save this superb historic building and refuse the application. Thank you.

Regards
