Refusal Decision Notice
Town and Country Planning Act 1999
Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005
Mr Hugh Logan Bridge Court 10 Bridge Street Castletown
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: Mr J Martin & Ms N Carter Proposal: Approval in principle for the erection of two dwellings at: Field South Of Close Mooar (County Series 1298) Glen Darragh Road Glen Vine Isle of Man IM4 4BE
which was considered on 15th June 2007, for the reasons set out below.
Date of Issue: 19th June 2007
Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas (Signature: Murray H. Havelock)
Secretary Planning Committee (Signature: Secretary Planning President)
Reasons For Refusal:
- The application site, located on the edge of built development, and in an area classed as open countryside in the 1982 Development Plan Order, is visible from the adjacent former railway line and Glen Darragh Road. The development of this area would be contrary to the zoning of the site and introduce development in an open and attractive area, contrary to the aims of the Order and Planning Circular 1/88 which states such areas are intended to remain substantially free from development. In addition, the development of this site would prejudice the preparation of a development plan for this area and establish a precedent for further development on undesignated land, both within the immediate vicinity and elsewhere on the Island.
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. (Signature: 07/00623/A)
