April 2005 Refusal Notice

Town and Country Planning Acts, 1934 - 1991

Isle of Man Planning Scheme (Development Plan) Order 1982

Ellis Brown The Rechabite Hall Allan Street Douglas IM1 3DW

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: Fosterplus (IOM) Proposal: Proposed conversion of existing ground floor workshop to additional office accommodation including replacement of existing first floor gable window and main entrance screen to ground floor (re submission to PA 04/01767) (Readvertised) at: Alpine Mews Summerhill Road Onchan

which was considered on 15 April 2005, for the reasons set out below.

Date of Issue: 28th April, 2005 Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas Secretary Planning Committee

Reasons For Refusal:

1. The site has an established use as a store with ancillary office use above. The use of the building as offices on both floors would generate more, and more frequent comings and goings and additional demand for car parking in respect of a site which has no on-site parking and which is situated in an area where there is only limited on-street parking available.

1. The Fire Prevention Officer recommends that the layout and means of escape is not satisfactory as a fire occurring within the new office area on the ground floor may have the potential to trap persons on the first floor with no means of escape.

NOTE As the proposed application has been refused but the use proposed is already being undertaken, the use is unlawful and must cease within three months of the date of this notice as it becomes final.

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.
