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: Mr J Bell Proposal: Amendment to approved conversion of former guest houses to six apartments (04/02298B) to include an additional studio apartment and management office on lower ground floor at: 7 - 8 Palace Road Douglas Isle Of Man IM2 4LW
which was considered on 24 November 2005, for the reasons set out below.
Date of Issue: 6 December, 2005 Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas Secretary Planning Committee (Signature: Dave Luton)
Reasons For Refusal:
- The proposed use would generate a demand for on-street parking spaces; on-site parking is neither proposed nor practical, whilst further on-street parking would exacerbate existing congestion, to the detriment of road safety and the convenience of existing residents.
- The loss of the two stores to the residents of the six apartments, would be a loss of a residential amenity.
- 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.
