Refusal Decision Notice
Town and Country Planning Act 1999
Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005
Bettridge Motors The Eairy East Foxdale Isle Of Man
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: Bettridge Motors Proposal: Vehicle storage in yard at: Brookfield House Main Road Foxdale Isle Of Man IM4 3EB
which was considered on 20th June 2008, for the reasons set out below.
Date of Issue: 23rd June 2008
Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas
Deputy Secretary to the Planning Committee
Reason(S) For Refusal:
- The proposed use of the site for the storage of vehicles in an area identified as Open Space by the Foxdale Local Plan would be contrary to the land zoning of the site and would be detrimental to the amenities of the surrounding area.
- It is considered that the number of vehicles using site would have an adverse impact upon the highway safety of the surrounding area. The existing narrow and steep track which serves the site combined with vehicles parked legally on the main road would result in access arrangements that would be inadequate to serve the proposed use of the site.
- The increase in activity generated in the movement of vehicles would result in an unacceptable level of noise and disturbance to neighbouring dwellings
Note Within 28 days of the decision notice becoming final, all extraneous vehicles must be removed from the site and only vehicles associated with the residential use of Brookfield House shall be parked on-site.
