Town and Country Planning Act 1999
Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005
M P Associates Ltd 12 Strathallan Crescent Douglas Isle Of Man IM2 4NR
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: Mr Simeon & Mrs Shelley Berry Proposal: Erection of replacement dwelling at: Upper Kirkill Ballakillowey Road Colby Isle Of Man IM9 4BW
which was considered on 26th July 2011, for the reasons set out below.
Date of Issue: 29th July 2011
Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas
Reason(S) For Refusal:
- The proposed dwelling by virtue particularly of its design and massing but also due to its size, would be strikingly out of character with the landscape in which it would sit and thus contrary to the provisions of Housing Policy 14 of the Strategic Plan.
- The site defined in red, which is described in the application form as "residential" includes a substantial amount of land which is not presently residential curtilage and if treated as such, would or could transform what is presently open natural land into domesticised and inappropriately landscaped garden, with the features and elements associated therewith and some permissible under the Town and Country Planning (Permitted Development) Order 2005 which would be out of keeping with the area.
This decision was made by the Director of Planning and Building Control in accordance with the authority delegated to him under Article 3(13) of the Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005.
