In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act and Order the PLANNING COMMITTEE of the Department of Local Government and the Environment does hereby REFUSE the following application made on behalf of:
Name: Howstrake Developments Ltd (Mr E J Sheridan) Proposal: Re-development of site to erect four apartment blocks to provide 30 private sheltered housing apartments with wardens and ancillary accommodation and associated parking at: The Warehouse Bargrill / Former Follies Cabaret Restaurant Harbour Road Onchan Isle Of Man IM3 1BG
which was considered on 27 April 2006, for the reasons set out below.
Date of Issue: 4 May, 2006 Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas Secretary Planning Committee (Signature: R)
Reasons For Refusal:
- The development proposed by the planning application is deemed unacceptable by reason that:
a) the position, proximity to the site boundary, overall height of the proposed three storey building and differences in ground levels combine to result in an unacceptably overbearing impact on the existing adjacent dwellings to the detriment of their private and residential amenity; b) the position, proximity to the site boundary, overall height, the use of balcony areas and the orientation of the apartments of the proposed three storey building and differences in ground levels combine to result in an unacceptably adverse effect on the privacy of the existing adjacent dwellings to the detriment of their private and residential amenity; c) the distance between the rear elevations of the proposed two storey buildings and the existing dwellings within the Marine View Close is insufficient to
adequately protect the residential amenity of those existing dwellings and the residential amenity of the proposed apartments.
As such the proposed development is contrary to the provisions of policy O/RES/P/19 of Planning Circular 1/2000.
