Mr G M Roberts The Nook Stanley Mount East Ramsey IM8 1NP

TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING ACT 1999 The Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2019

In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act, and subordinate Orders and Regulations, the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture determined to REFUSE an application by Mr Keith Hoyes, Ref 24/00805/B, for the Erection of a replacement dwelling and alteration to vehicular access at Thie Dhorlish Rhenab Road Cornaa Ramsey Isle Of Man IM7 1EL for the following reason(s):

• 1. Given that no existing dwelling exists on the site as a result of demolition, it is considered that the site has been abandoned and as such the proposal conflicts with Housing Policy 12, Part A and the application is considered unacceptable in principle and wouldn't meet any of the exceptions within General Policy 3.
• 2. The proposal, given the loss of the original dwelling, seeks to create a new dwelling outside of a designated town or village and thereby results in encroachement into the rural countryside and as such conflicts with Housing Policy 4 as the proposals would not meet any of the exceptions listed at a, b or c.

Date of Issue: 2nd October 2024
