Tel 01624 685950 Atelier Kruger Architecture Limited 19 Kensington Road Douglas IM1 3EP TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING ACT 1999 The Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure)(No 2) Order 2013 In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act and Order the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture determined to REFUSE an application by Trevelyan Hotel Ltd, Ref 18/00101/B, for the Conversion of existing dwelling in to three self contained one bedroom apartments at 4 Victoria Place Douglas Isle Of Man IM2 4ET for the following reason(s): 1. The application is considered contrary to Housing Policy 17 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan as the conversion fails to provide a clear and pleasant outlook from the flats; results in an over intensification of accommodation for the building and would add to the pressure on kerbside parking. 2. The application is considered contrary to General Policy 2(h) & (i) and Transport Policy 7 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan as the proposed development does not meet the Department's current parking provision requirements nor demonstrate that a reduced level of parking would not result in unacceptable on-street parking in the locality and as such would lead to the aggravation of on-street vehicle parking to the detriment of existing on street parking provision, highway safety and the free flow of traffic in the area. 3. The application is considered contrary to General Policy 2(g) of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan as the increased level of bin storage to the front of the property would adversely affect the residential character and appearance of the Streetscene.
