Decision Notice
Cornerstone Architects 79 Parliament Street Ramsey Isle Of Man IM8 1AQ
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 Roy & Mrs Susan Tilleard, Ref 15/00678/A, for the Approval in principle to demolish existing dwelling and erection of a replacement detached dwelling with detached garage addressing siting and means of access at Thie Ny Chibbyr Glen Road Colby Isle Of Man IM9 4HW for the following reason(s):
- It is considered that the construction of the dwelling is likely to result in damage to the existing trees which could threaten their future retention. In addition, if the dwelling could be constructed without adversely affecting the trees shown to be retained, either in the short or long term, it is likely that, given the proximity of the remaining trees to the proposed new dwelling, that the future of these trees cannot be assured, given their proximity and the potential implications for loss of light, leaf drop and damage through trees falling towards the building. The loss of further trees would adversely affect the character and appearance of the area and potentially render the proposed new dwelling more visible, interrupting an existing continuous stand of trees, to the detriment of the appearance of the area and in conflict with Housing Policy 14.
Date of Issue: 1st March 2016
Director of Planning and Building Control
