Planning Committee Refusal Notice
Town and Country Planning Act 1999
Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005
Bellis Architects 11 Tromode Close Tromode Douglas Isle of Man IM2 5PE
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 Philip & Mrs Shelia Sadd Proposal: Demolition of existing chalet dwelling and replacement in new location with a single storey dwelling at: Field 134924 Lower Glentramman Farm Garey Road Garey Ramsey Isle of Man
which was considered on 10th November 2011, for the reasons set out below.
Date of Issue: 16th November 2011
Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas
Mrs P Faragher Deputy Secretary to the Planning Committee
Reason(S) For Refusal:
- The Committee was not satisfied that the proposal complies with Housing Policy 14 in that the siting is some distance from that of the existing dwelling to be replaced and the new siting would be outside the existing farm group, thus extending built development into the countryside, contrary to the provisions of the policy. Whilst there are limited amenities available to the existing dwelling and it is close to existing farm buildings, and this has been the justification provided for relocating the new dwelling to a new siting, the existing unit has been occupied for a sufficient time to justify a certificate of lawful use without apparent inconvenience to either users of the unit itself or the operation of the farmyard. As such, the Committee is of the view that there is insufficient justification to set aside the provisions of HP 14 in this case.
