Refusal Notice 07/01869/B
Town and Country Planning Act 1999
Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005
Penketh - Millar 23 West Quay Ramsey Isle Of Man IM8 1DL
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: Mr J F Keenan Proposal: Erection of a detached dwelling with integral garage at: Plot 2 Field 224254 Station Road Ballaugh Isle Of Man
which was considered on 24th December 2007, for the reasons set out below.
Date of Issue: 3rd January 2008
Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas
Deputy Secretary to the Planning Committee
Reason(S) For Refusal:
- Whilst it is noted that the Inspector reporting on the previous application for PA 02/2007 comments that he saw no reason for the proposed dwellings to be single storey, in this case, the proposed dwelling would be as close as 4m from the boundary with numbers 4 and 6, Faaie Craine, and in the case of number 6, Faaie Craine, would be far closer to an elevation with a window in it than the generally required distance of 20m. The development would therefore be unduly dominant in respect of the rear private space of the two properties behind and in the case of number 6, Faaie Craine would adversely affect the privacy of the property itself.
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.
