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 Ms Sandra Russi, Ref 19/00646/C, for the Change of use of horse livery yard to a dog day care centre at Lapwings East Foxdale Road Eairy Isle Of Man IM4 3HL for the following reason(s):
- Whilst the location is considered suitable for the proposed use, the deficiencies in the existing accesses in terms of the visibility available in both directions given the speed of passing traffic on a public highway where the speed of vehicles is derestricted, lead to a conclusion that the material increase in traffic from the proposed operation of a dog day care facility would result in a harmful impact on highway safety, contrary to Strategic Policy 10.
