Planning Refusal Decision Notice
Town and Country Planning Act 1999
Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005
M P Associates Ltd 12 Strathallan Crescent Douglas Isle of Man IM2 4NR
In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act and Order the PLANNING COMMITTEE of the Department of Infrastructure does hereby REFUSE the following application made on behalf of:
Name: Carlton Homes Ltd Proposal: Alterations and extensions to dwelling (comprising amendments to PA 09/00245B) at: Fern Glen Cottage Glen Auldyn Ramsey Isle of Man IM7 2AG
which was considered on 17th June 2011, for the reasons set out below. Date of Issue: 24th June 2011 Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas
Mrs P Faragher Deputy Secretary to the Planning Committee
Reason(S) For Refusal:
- The proposed extensions and alterations would result in a substantial increase over the existing traditional property, which would in turn result in the loss of character, proportion and form of the existing traditional property, contrary to Housing Policy 15 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan.
- The proposed porch extension would preclude the provision of two acceptable off road parking spaces and would therefore be detrimental to highway safety and contrary to the parking provisions of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan. Additionally the submitted plans are inaccurate in that they illustrate two parking spaces being achievable whilst not showing a true layout of the site and surrounding area.
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.
