Planning Refusal Decision Notice
Mr Frank Sweeney Ladyhill Daars Sallins Co. Kildare Ireland
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 Infrastructure determined to REFUSE a planning application by Mr Frank Sweeney, Ref 13/91035/B, for the erection of five detached dwellings with associated garages at Land Adjacent To Ginger Hall Hotel Ballamanagh Road Sulby Isle Of Man for the following reason(s):
- The proposed development would be served by a substandard means of access with deficient visibility in a south western direction. The proposal would not be served by a safe and convenient access and would be detrimental to the safety of users of the highway. The proposal fails to accord with General Policy 2, criterion (i) of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007 and is unacceptable.
- The proposed development, by reason of the relationship between Plots 2, 4 and 5, would give the impression of being tightly squeezed in and the layout would appear contrived. The layout of the development is therefore unduly comprised from an urban design point of view and fails to accord with General Policy 2, criterion (b) of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007.
Date of Issue: 2nd June 2014

Director of Planning and Building Control
