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 David Hathersich-Jones, Ref 16/00586/A, for the Approval in principle for the erection of a detached dwelling at Land Adjacent To Fasque Andreas Road Ramsey Isle Of Man for the following reason(s):

• 1. The proposal would result in an additional property using an access which will not provide adequate visibility for drivers emerging from the site. Whilst the visibility will be better than what existed previously, it is not fully in accordance with highway safety standards and is not sufficient to justify a further dwelling using this access. The proposal therefore fails to accord with General Policy 2h and 2i of the Strategic Plan.
• 2. The proposed dwelling, by virtue of vehicles and pedestrians passing Fasque to access the new dwelling's access and parking area, together with any vehicular manoeuvring, will result in a diminution of the privacy and general amenity for the occupants of the existing property. Whilst it is proposed to screen this activity by fencing, this in itself will restrict outlook and light to Fasque, to the detriment of the persons occupying that property.

Date of Issue: 3rd April 2019

Director of Planning and Building Control
