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: Richard James Morris Proposal: Demolition of existing dwelling and the erection of a replacement dwelling at: Cronk Ny Killey Dreemskerry Ramsey Isle of Man IM7 1AX
which was considered on 1st October 2012, for the reasons set out below. Date of Issue: 2nd October 2012 Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas
Mrs P Faragher Deputy Secretary to the Planning Committee
Reason(S) For Refusal:
- The increase in size of the proposed dwelling, which proposes a two storey dwelling with a 124% increase in floor area over the existing dwelling, and the increase in the extent of residential curtilage constitutes unwarranted encroachment into the countryside that is detrimental to the character and quality of an area that is within wider areas of land that are designated as a) High Landscape or Coastal Value and Scenic Significance; and b) Conservation Area. As such, the proposal is contrary to the provisions of Environment Policy 2, Housing Policy 14 and Environment Policy 35 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007.
- By reason of its size and design the proposed dwelling fails to acceptably accord with the provisions of Housing Policy 14 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007 and Policies 2, 3 and 7 of Planning Circular 3/91: GUIDE TO THE DESIGN OF RESIDNTIAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE COUNTRYSIDE.
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.
