Planning Refusal Notice 08/02191/B
Town and Country Planning Act 1999
Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005
Hartford Homes Middle River Douglas IM2 1AL
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: Hartford Homes Proposal: Erection of a dwelling at: Plot 33A Royal Park Ramsey Isle Of Man IM8 3UF
which was considered on 27th February 2009, for the reasons set out below.
Date of Issue: 2nd March 2009
Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas
Deputy Secretary to the Planning Committee
Reason(S) For Refusal:
- The proposed dwelling, by virtue of its size and height, and its proximity to the neighbouring property 12 Rheast Mooar Avenue, would adversely affect the residential amenity of neighbouring property, particularly in respect of having an overbearing impact and would therefore be un-neighbourly and dominant in respect of the outlook and enjoyment of the occupiers. As such the proposed development is contrary to criterion (g) of General Policy 2 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007.
- The proposal would result in the loss of an area of public open space as indicated and approved under the previous planning application 04/02310/B. Approval of the application to allow the encroachment of residential development into land that is designated as public open space would detract from the character and amenities of the development and would result in an unwanted precedent in this area and in other areas of public open space within the Island.
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.
