Refusal Decision Notice
Town and Country Planning Acts, 1934 - 1991
Isle of Man Planning Scheme (Development Plan) Order 1982
KDP Architects 13 Seymour Terrace Seymour Street Liverpool L3 5PE
In pursuance of powers granted under the above Acts and Order the Department of Local Government and the Environment does hereby REFUSE the following application made on behalf of:
Name: Tioman Developments Limited Proposal: Erection of a pair of dwellings (resubmission), at: Former Shelter Site, Between Shore House And Westwinds Shore Road Port Erin
which was considered on 1 April 2005, for the reasons set out below.
Date of Issue: 8 April, 2005 Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas Secretary Planning Committee
Reasons For Refusal:
- Whilst the Planning Committee has no objection to the erection of a pair of semi-detached houses on the site, as has been approved under PA 03/0726, this latest scheme results in a taller, wider building which dominates the existing neighbouring properties "West Winds" and "The Cottage". Also, the array of windows, including larger apertures on the second floor is not reflective of the general fenestration found elsewhere in buildings in the immediate vicinity and the chimneys, in terms of their design and position and these aspects, together with the open balcony and garage doors all contribute to a building which is out of keeping with the streets cene.
NOTE The Chief Fire Officer strongly recommends that the means of escape from the upper floors is unsafe.
NOTE This decision was made by the Planning Committee constituted in accordance with Paragraph 2 of Schedule 1 of the Isle of Man Planning Scheme (Development Plan) Order 1982.
Note 1: The decision contained in this notice does not become final until:-
- the time for requesting a review of the initial decision has expired; or
- any review of the initial decision has been completed; or
- the time for requesting an appeal in relation to any decision at review has expired; or
- any appeal has been completed.
Note 2: Rights of review against the decision are attached.
