In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act and Order the Department of Infrastructure does hereby REFUSE the following application made on behalf of:
Name: Mr Richard Dick Proposal: Alterations and extension to dwelling, creation of garden decking and rendering of adjacent property walls at: 67 & 68 Ballaquark Douglas Isle of Man IM2 2ER
which was considered on 28th June 2010, for the reasons set out below.
Date of Issue: 29th June 2010
Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas
Mrs P Faragher Deputy Secretary to the Planning Committee
Reason(S) For Refusal:
- The proposed extension would be contrary to General Policy 2 and Environment Policy 42 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007 by reason of its siting, design and projection which would result:
a) in the introduction of an unsympathetic and incongruous feature within the street scene that would be out of keeping with the general established character of the area; b) in demonstrable harm to the amenities of No.68 Ballaquark from increased visual intrusion, overshadowing, loss of light and from a tunnelling effect.
- The proposed rendering of No’s 67 and 68 Ballaquark would be contrary to General Policy 2 and Environment Policy 42 in that it would introduce an unsympathetic and incongruous feature within the street scene that would be out of character within the area and would be detrimental to the visual amenities of the locality.
This decision was made by the Senior Planning Officer in accordance with the authority delegated to her under Article 3(13) of the Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005.
