Refusal Decision Notice
Town and Country Planning Act 1999
Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005
Miss P Newton 2 Glen View South Cape Laxey
In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act and Order the PLANNING COMMITTEE of the Department of Infrastructure does hereby REFUSE the following application made on behalf of:
Name: Mr & Mrs Colin Duggan Proposal: Approval in principle for erection of an agricultural worker's dwelling at: Field 434152 Grenaby Road Ballasalla Isle of Man
which was considered on 10th November 2011, for the reasons set out below.
Date of Issue: 14th November 2011
Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas
Mrs P Faragher Deputy Secretary to the Planning Committee
Reason(S) For Refusal:
- Since the labour requirement for the farm is three, and there are already on the farm three dwellings, the erection of a further agricultural dwelling is unwarranted; there is thus insufficient agricultural need to off-set General Policy 3 and Housing Policy 7 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan in relation to new houses in the countryside.
- The proposed dwelling would not be sited so as to be part of the existing group of main farm buildings, and, as a consequence, would cause an undesirable and unwarranted visual intrusion in a prominent position within the countryside contrary to Housing Policy 9 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan.
This decision was made by the Planning Committee constituted in accordance with Article 3(1) of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2005.
