Town and Country Planning Act 1999
Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005
Mr T Craine Tiree 28 Victoria Road Castletown IM9 1EJ
In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act and Order the PLANNING COMMITTEE of the Department of Local Government and the Environment does hereby REFUSE the following application made on behalf of:
Name: JC Properties Ltd Proposal: Conversion from former Printing Works to Company Headquarters and licensed controlled Waste Recycling Centre at: Former Castle Industries Building Ronaldsway Industrial Estate Ronaldsway Ballasalla Isle Of Man IM9 2RY
which was considered on 9th April 2009, for the reasons set out below.
Date of Issue: 14th April 2009
Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas (Signature)
Deputy Secretary to the Planning Committee (Signature)
Reason(S) For Refusal:
- Whilst the site lies within an area designated for Predominantly Industrial use on the Isle of Man Planning Scheme (Development Plan) Order 1982, the present character of the estate is light industrial and incorporates non-industrial uses such as the children’s centre offices and nursery, the post office, the offices at Forrest House and the Sefton Express hotel, which has permission for a significant extension for additional bedrooms towards the application site. In addition, planning permission has been granted for the change of use of the adjacent warehouse to a leisure facility and permission has been granted in principle for a research and development and light industrial development on the land over which the new access is proposed. As such, the introduction of a waste recycling facility as is proposed in this application would introduce a heavier type of industrial use with the potential for noise, dust and heavy traffic nuisance to existing and potential authorised users of the estate.
This decision was made by the Planning Committee constituted in accordance with Article 3(1) of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2005.
