Refusal Notice 11/00717/A
Town and Country Planning Act 1999
Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005
Onchan Commissioners 79 Main Road Onchan IM3 1RD
In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act and Order the Department of Infrastructure does hereby REFUSE the following application made on behalf of:
Name: Onchan Commissioners Proposal: Approval in principle for the creation of a vehicle park at: Field 534102 Hillberry Onchan Isle of Man
which was considered on 7th July 2011, for the reasons set out below.
Date of Issue: 8th July 2011
Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas
Mrs P Faragher Deputy Secretary to the Planning Committee
Reason(S) For Refusal:
- The planning application proposes the development of land designated as public open space under the Isle of Man Planning Scheme (Onchan Local Plan) Order 2000. As the proposal does not constitute any of the listed exceptions to allow the development of such land the proposal is contrary to the provisions of General Policy 3 and Recreation Policy 2 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007. Furthermore, in terms of site specific impact it is concluded that the parking of large vehicles on the application site would have an unacceptable impact on visual amenity given the prominent position within the area.
This decision was made by the Senior Planning Officer in accordance with the authority delegated to her under Article 3(13) of the Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005.
