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 Richard Cassidy & Ms Nadine Lewis, Ref 19/00275/CON, for the Registered Building consent for the demolition elements relating the application 19/00257/B at Westmore 35 Arbory Street Castletown Isle Of Man IM9 1LL for the following reason(s):
- There is no justification for removing the existing stone walling which defines the property and enables the rear of the premises to have a satisfactory boundary to the public highway, which is located within Castletown's Conservation Area. The proposal would therefore be contrary to Environment Policy 35 and without any valid proposed for the replacement of the walls, the development would also be contrary to Environment Policy 39.
