12 Apartments Proposed for Town

An application has been made to build a six-storey building with 12 flats on Ramsey’s Mooragh Promendade.

The plans, which can be seen here, would see the development built on a vacant patch of land which is bordered by two six-storey buildings.

Gareth Roberts’ application seeks to “fuse the best elements of nineteenth century proportion and scale with a modern sensibility”.

The plans show each apartment would be two-bed, with an office or study space separate to the kitchen/lounge and come with external terraces or balconies, as well as parking.

It says: “Overall, it is considered that the design proposed represents a modern interpretation of Victorian architecture, reflecting the detailing and the vertical proportions of the terraces in the along the Promenade.

“The design, it is considered provides a more contemporary and modern approach whilst avoiding Victorian pastiche which it is considered has worked less successfully within the immediate area.”
