Refusal Notice 10/00838/B
Town and Country Planning Act 1999
Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005
Ranimons Ltd Ballachrink Grove Mount Ramsey IM8 3HP
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 Andrew Clague Proposal: The seasonal erection of a marquee and portable toilet block to accommodate corporate functions and events (1st May to 30th September) at: Ballakaighen Farm Whitebridge Road Onchan Isle Of Man IM4 6AD
which was considered on 28th July 2010, for the reasons set out below.
Date of Issue: 3rd August 2010
Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas
Mrs C Dudley Deputy Secretary to the Planning Committee
Reason(S) For Refusal:
- By reason that the proposed development represents the erection of a new built development in the countryside, as opposed to the previous re-use of existing redundant buildings, the proposal is contrary to the presumption against development in the countryside. The proposed development represents unwarranted development in the countryside that is detrimental to the amenity of the area, which is contrary to the provisions of General Policy 3 and Environment Policy 1 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007.
- The proposed development will increase the level of traffic using the access onto Whitebridge Road. As this access is substandard in terms of visibility it is concluded that an increase in usage will be detrimental to highway safety.
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.
