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 Mr Christopher Winchester & Miss Katrina Welch, Ref 18/00974/B, for the Replacement of existing garage with new garage and attic playroom at 10 Victoria Avenue Onchan Isle Of Man IM3 1BD for the following reason(s):
- 1. The height of the proposed garage, and the balcony on the south east, would result in overlooking and loss of privacy to the rear of No.8 Victoria Avenue thus damaging the residential amenity of the occupants. For this reason the proposal is contrary to the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016, General Policy 2 and paragraph 8.12.1.
- 2. The height, size and form of the proposed garage would result in overdevelopment of the site and would therefore harm both the character and appearance of the site and wider area. For this reason the proposal is contrary to the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016, General Policy 2 and paragraph 8.12.1.
Date of Issue: 30th October 2018
