Refusal Decision Notice
Town and Country Planning Act 1999
Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005
Kelly Lewthwaite Building Design 53 Victoria Street Douglas IM1 2LA
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: Jennifer Quiggin Proposal: Approval in principle for the erection of block of ten apartments with associated basement parking facilities to replace existing dwelling at: Brae Villa Tromode Road Douglas Isle Of Man IM2 5EJ
which was considered on 22 June 2006, for the reasons set out below.
Date of Issue: 3 July, 2006
Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas
Secretary Planning Committee
Reasons For Refusal:
- The indicative drawings illustrate a considerable over-development of the site which would result in
a) a large building, close to the road and to the side boundaries, and covering much of the site; the development would thus be out of keeping with the surrounding area which is characterised by individual dwellings standing in their own green space; and in b) there being inadequate pleasant external space for the residents of the proposed flats.
- Having regard to the status of Tromode Road as a Local Distributor, and to the significant increase in use of the access from the site on to that road, there should be visibility splays of 2.0m x 90m; from the submitted plans, it appears that it would not be possible to provide such splays without relying on land outside of the site.
This decision was made by the Planning Committee constituted in accordance with Article 3(1) of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2005.
The decision contained in this notice does not become final until either;
- The time for requesting an appeal has expired; or
- Any appeal has been determined;
Whichever is the later.
Any appeal against this decision must be in writing and must be received by this Department within 21 days of the date of this notice.
A form and guidance notes are available from either the Planning Office, Tel 685950, or to down load from the Department’s website www.gov.im/dlge/planning/plan
You should note that a copy of the Officer’s report which led to the decision being made, along with any correspondence relative to the application, is available for inspection at the Department.
