Falls Cottage, Access To Fairview House And Methodist Church Hall From The Lhargen, Glen Maye, Isle Of Man, IM5 3ba
This application sought permission to convert Church Hall in Glen Maye into a residential dwelling. The hall is a single-storey end-terrace building of approximately 70 sq.m, sitting directly on the kerb at the front with no external space to the sides or rear. The application was refused on 28 November 2007. The decision was made by the Director of Planning and Building Control under delegated authority. The sole reason for refusal was that the submitted plans made no provision for outdoor amenity space, meaning the proposed dwelling would not provide an acceptable level of residential amenity. The physical constraints of the site left no scope to address this shortcoming.
The application was refused because the plans showed no outdoor amenity space. The building sits directly on the kerb at the front with no external space around it, meaning the proposed dwelling would not meet an acceptable standard of residential amenity.
