TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING ACT 1999 The Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure)(No 2) Order 2013
In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act and Order the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture determined to REFUSE an application by Mr Robert Mathewson, Ref 19/01207/B, for the Creation of parking area within part of front garden and associated works at Woodcroft New Road Laxey Isle Of Man IM4 7HS for the following reason(s):
- 1. The proposal would unacceptably harm the characteristics of the existing building and the character of its surroundings which is against policies GP2, EP36 and the policies within the local area plan.
- 2. The proposal would be unacceptable with regards to highway safety as there would be insufficient visibility for drivers of vehicles emerging from the parking space and the space would be too narrow to satisfactorily accommodate a typical modern day car. As such the proposal is against policy GP2 and the Manual for Manx Roads.
