Refusal Decision Notice
Town and Country Planning Act 1999
Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005
Miss P Newton 2 Glen View South Cape Laxey
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 & Mrs John French Proposal: Approval in principle for the erection of an agricultural workers dwelling at: Field 610474 Clarum Lane Clarum Farm Laxey Isle Of Man
which was considered on 21st October 2010, for the reasons set out below.
Date of Issue: 25th October 2010
Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas
Mrs C Dudley Deputy Secretary to the Planning Committee
Reason(S) For Refusal:
- The proposal represents development within the countryside contrary to the provisions of General Policy 3, Environment Policy 2, Housing Policy 4 and Housing Policy 7 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007 and policies L/RES/PR/1, L/OSNC/PR1 and L/OSNC/PR/7 of the Laxey and Lonan Area Plan Order 2005, which seek to protect the countryside and areas of high landscape value and scenic significance from unwarranted development. The justification put forward within the planning application does not outweigh the presumption against development set out by the land use designation and planning policy.
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.
