Refusal Decision Notice

Town and Country Planning Act 1999

Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005

Mrs Gail Kelly Eversfield Bay View Ramsey IM8 3EQ

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: Mrs Gail Kelly Proposal: Approval in principle for the erection of a dwelling at: Plot adjacent to Starley Cottage Port Lewaigue Ramsey Isle of Man IM7 1AJ

which was considered on 27th October 2010, for the reasons set out below.

Date of Issue: 29th October 2010 Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas

Mrs P Faragher Deputy Secretary to the Planning Committee

Reason(S) For Refusal:

1. The erection of a dwelling on the proposed site which is located within an area not designated for development would be contrary to established planning policies aimed at protecting the Manx countryside and directing new residential development to locations that accord with sustainable development principles. For these reasons the proposal would be contrary to General Policy 3, Environmental Policies 1 and Housing Policy 4 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan.

1. The proposed development, which would seek a method of disposal of foul sewage via an outfall which discharges untreated onto the beach would unacceptably harm the environment and would be contrary to Environmental Policy 22 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan.

1. No details have been provided to satisfactorily address the means of surface water disposal. The proposal could therefore cause unacceptable harm to the environment contrary to Environment Policy 22 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan.

This decision was made by the Director of Planning and Building Control in accordance with the authority delegated to him under Article 3(13) of the Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005.
