Richmond Square Design Limited The Estate Office Oak Hill Port Soderick IM4 6AQ
In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act and Order the PLANNING COMMITTEE of the Department of Infrastructure does hereby REFUSE the following application made on behalf of:
Name: Richmond Square Estates Limited Proposal: Erection of a replacement dwelling at: Ashdowne House Ballavale Road Santon Isle Of Man IM4 1EH

REASON(S) FOR REFUSAL:
- The proposal would fail to comply with Housing Policy 14 in that the existing dwelling is not judged to be of ‘poor form’ and as such the significant increase in size and floor area proposed would be unjustified.

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.
