Dave Luton Design<br>Engine House Studio<br>Agneash<br>Lonan<br>Isle of Man<br>IM4 7NS
In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act and Order the Department of Local Government and the Environment does hereby REFUSE the following application made on behalf of:
| Name: | Mr Graham Bissdee |
|---|
| Proposal: | Conversion of ground floor apartment to two apartments <br> (retrospective) and conversion of first and second floor store <br> rooms to a maisonette |
| at: | 15 Demesne Road <br> Douglas <br> Isle of Man <br> IM1 3EB |
which was considered on 4th March 2010, for the reasons set out below. Date of Issue: 5th March 2010 Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas
Reason(S) For Refusal:
- The proposed development would result in additional demand for street parking which would adversely affect the existing character of the Conservation Area; harm the amenity of others; and result in highway safety issues. The proposed development would thus be contrary to General Policy 2, Environment Policy 35 and Transport Policy 7 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007.
- The proposed development is an over-intensive form of development which undermines the character of the Conservation area and would result in substandard living accommodation for future occupiers. The proposed development would thus be contrary to General Policy 2, Environment Policy 35 and Housing Policy 17 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007.
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.
