EMC Design 80 Bucks Road Douglas IM1 3AF 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: Proposal: at:
Mr J Sharples \& Ms Z C Campbell Construction of building to provide 33 apartments with integral parking Factory And Premises 40 South Quay Douglas Isle Of Man IM1 5AX which was considered on 24th July 2008, for the reasons set out below. Date of Issue: 29th July 2008 Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas
Secretary to the Planning Committee
Reason(S) For Refusal:
- The height and proximity of the proposed apartment building would lead to poor levels of residential amenity for both existing occupiers of Douglas Head Road and future occupier of the development as a result of both actual and perceived mutual overlooking. In addition, the outlook from those apartments to the rear whose sole outlook is of the cliff/wall face would be poor, resulting in significantly reduced levels of residential amenity for future occupiers.
- Insufficient information has been submitted to in order to evaluate the impact of the development on the adjoining highway.
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.
