Refusal Notice 05/01929/A

Town and Country Planning Acts, 1934 - 1991

Isle of Man Planning Scheme (Development Plan) Order 1982

Mr J D C Bridson Sunnyside The Lhen Andreas Isle Of Man IM7 3EH

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 D C Bridson Proposal: Approval in principle for the demolition of existing cottage and outbuildings and the erection of a four bed detached dwelling with garaging at: Sunnyside The Lhen Andreas Isle Of Man IM7 3EH

which was considered on 9 December 2005, for the reasons set out below.

Date of Issue: 15 December, 2005 Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas Secretary Planning Committee

Reasons For Refusal:

1. The proposed demolition of a dwellinghouse would be contrary to Planning Circular 1/88 and Housing Policy 12 of the emerging Isle of Man Strategic Plan in that:

i) the proposal will result in the loss of a traditional property from the countryside; and ii) the Planning Committee considers no justification has been submitted to support the demolition of the dwelling. Furthermore, the Planning Committee

considers the demolition of the existing dwelling to be unnecessary and unwarranted.

1. The application does not demonstrate that a satisfactory means of access with the appropriate visibility splays can be provided and therefore it would be premature to consider this proposal in the interests of highway safety.

1. 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.
