Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005
Miss C McCoubrey 18 Cedar Walk Hightonwood Hill Tromode Douglas IM2 5NG
In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act and Order the Department of Local Government and the Environment does hereby REFUSE the following application made on behalf of:
Name: Miss C McCoubrey Proposal: Approval in principle for the erection of a dwelling and two garages at: Field 534135 Little Mill Road Onchan Isle Of Man
which was considered on 14 December 2006, for the reasons set out below.
Date of Issue: 15 December, 2006 Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas Secretary Planning Committee
Reasons For Refusal:
- By reason of its designation under the Onchan Local Plan Order 2000 the proposal is contrary to the presumption against residential development outside of areas designated for such purpose, as set out by policy O/RES/P/22 of Planning Circular 1/2000 and the general provisions of Planning Circular 1/88 (Revised). As such, the erection of a dwelling on the application site represents unwarranted encroachment into the countryside to the detriment of the amenity of the area.
- By reason of its designation under the Onchan Local Plan Order 2000 the proposal is contrary to the presumption against development that would have an adverse impact or effect on an area of ecological interest, as set out by policy O/NC/P/2 of Planning Circular 1/2000.
- Due to its location within proximity of Clypse and Kerrowdhoo Reservoirs the proposed development is considered inappropriate by reason that the development and use of the site for residential purposes would increase the possibility of the pollution of an existing or future public water supply.
This decision was made by the Director of Planning and Building control in accordance with the authority delegated to him under Article 3(13) of the Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005
