Planning Refusal Notice
Town and Country Planning Act 1999
Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005
Partington Nixon & Kinrade 7-9 Drinkwater Street Douglas IM1 1AT
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: Danford Ltd Proposal: Improvements to and use of estate roadway for construction vehicle access to development site at: Balladoyne Estate St Johns Isle Of Man
which was considered on 15th February 2008, for the reasons set out below.
Date of Issue: 19th February 2008
Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas
Deputy Secretary to the Planning Committee
Reason(S) For Refusal:
- When the development site with which this application is associated was permitted in the St. John's Local Plan, and in the consideration of the application for the principle of the development of the site under PA 06/0371, it was clearly a requirement that construction traffic should not use Balladoyne Estate Road. Whilst the proposal involves marginal widening of the estate road, the use of Balladoyne as a route for construction traffic would result in disruption, inconvenience and a reduction in road safety within the estate and as such is considered to be unacceptable, notwithstanding that the proposal is for a temporary period necessary for the development to be implemented.
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.
