Decision Notice
Mr Michael Sloane Hawthorne Cottage Church Road Maughold Isle Of Man IM7 1AS
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 Michael Sloane, Ref 24/91266/B, for the Installation of replacement decking, replacement of wooden fencing with glass balustrade to rear of property (retrospective); erection of boundary wall to north of property (amendments to 23/00889/B) at Hawthorn Cottage Maughold Isle Of Man IM7 1AS for the following reason(s):
- The proposed elevated plastic decking to the rear with glass balustrade and erection of a wall to the front have been considered to have a detrimental visual impact upon the character of the Conservation Area and that of the street scene whereby the proposals neither preserve or enhance. The raised position and visual appearance of the decking and glass balustrade to the rear would attribute to an overly dominant feature that would lead to overlooking resulting in a loss of privacy to the dwelling at the rear contrary to General Policy 2 and Environmental Policy 35.
Date of Issue: 24th March 2025
