Tel 01624 685950 Technical Drawing Services 4 College Green Castletown Isle Of Man IM9 1BE TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING ACT 1999 The Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2019 In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act, and subordinate Orders and Regulations, the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture determined to REFUSE an application by Mrs Lesley Corlett, Ref 20/00209/B, for the Alterations and extension to property, including widening of existing vehicular access at The Rowans Quines Hill Port Soderick Isle Of Man IM4 1AU for the following reason(s): 1. The proposed extension, by virtue of its height and location of proposed windows, and their proximity to the neighbouring dwelling would result in an unacceptable impact upon the residential amenity of the adjacent property 'Four Winds' by causing loss of privacy, and appearing as an overbearing feature as viewed from 'Four Winds'. The proposal would therefore be contrary to General Policy 2 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan. 2. Whilst the existing dwelling is not traditional in form it is situated within open fields on a section of the A27 which makes the dwelling easily identifiable without being particularly prominent. What is proposed would increase the built form in a way that is strikingly different in terms of form, mass, materials and appearance when compared to the existing dwelling and the surrounding buildings. As such, the proposed design, finish, mass and appearance of the dwelling would have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area, contrary to Housing Policy 16 and General Policy 2b, c and g of the Strategic Plan 2016.
