at:

Mrs E J Callow

Secretary to the Planning Committee

REASON(S) FOR REFUSAL:

1. The proposal represents unwarranted development of land not designated for such purposes under the Isle of Man Planning Scheme (Braddan Parish District Local Plan) Order 1991 - Plan No. 2. As such the proposal is contrary to the application site's land use designation and policies 5.4, 5.8, 13.4 and 13.5 of Planning Circular 6/91 and Strategic Policy 2, Spatial Policy 5, General Policy 3, Environment Policy 1 and Housing Policy 4 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007.

2. The proposed dwelling would be significantly taller than the greenhouses which it is to replace and as such would be an increased visual impact on the view and character of this part of the countryside.

This decision was made by the Director of Planning and Building Control in accordance with the authority delegated to him under Article 3(13) of the Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005.
