24th August 2016 Dear Sir/Madam, Application No: 16/00261/LAW Proposal: Application to make lawful the use of land as a storage compound Address: Land adjacent to Ellenbrook Farm Old Castletown Road Douglas Isle of Man Applicant: Carnane Estate Ltd
With regard to the above application, I write to advise that the Department has declined your request for a Certificate of Lawfulness under the provisions of section 24 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1999. The following reason has been given:
- Given the aerial photographs of 2010 and 2012 which show the site almost clear of material and equipment, it is not accepted that there is evidence to demonstrate that the site has been used continuously for storage for a period of ten years which would result in this use being exempt from the issue of an enforcement notice under Part 1 Section 3c of the Town and Country Planning Act 1999.
Please note that there is no right of appeal against this decision. Should you have any queries relative to this matter please contact this Department at your earliest convenience. Yours faithfully
Mrs P Faragher Deputy Head of Technical and Customer Support
Department of Environment, Food & Agriculture, Planning & Building Control, Murray House, Mount Havelock, Douglas, Isle of Man, IM1 2SF. Email [email protected]. Tel 01624 685950
