In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act, Order and Regulations 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 McCracken Proposal: Registered Building consent for the conversion of existing residential dwelling into three self contained apartments (In association with 08/00007/GB) Registered Building Nos. 151. at: 2 Albion Terrace Ramsey Isle Of Man IM8 2LW
which was considered on 14 August 2008, for the reasons set out below.
Date of Issue: 19th August 2008
Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas Secretary to the Planning Committee
Reasons For Refusal:
- Flats 1 and 3 are unacceptable by reason that a) they fail to provide a pleasant clear outlook from the principal rooms; and b) the level of natural light enjoyed is unduly limited. As such the proposal represents an inappropriate form of development that would provide an unacceptable living environment for future occupiers. Accordingly, the proposed development fails to satisfactorily accord with the provisions of Housing Policy 17 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007.
- The proposals are not justified and neither do the proposals protect or enhance the character of the Registered Building as required by Policy RB/5 Alterations and Extensions to a Registered Building as set out in Planning Policy Statement 1/01.
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.
