In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act and Order the Department of Infrastructure does hereby REFUSE the following application made on behalf of:
Name: Viking Containers Ltd Proposal: Registered Building Consent for the demolition of existing buildings at: 6 To 8 Bridge Road And Warehouse Lake Road Douglas Isle Of Man IM1 5AG

Mrs C Dudley Deputy Secretary to the Planning Committee
Reason(S) For Refusal:
- Based on the fact there isn't an approved redevelopment scheme and the resulting visual impact from the proposed demolition on the streetsceene and the Conservation area, it is considered the demolition of the buildings would be contrary to Policy CA/6 of Planning Policy Statement 1/01 and Environment Policies 35 and 39 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007. The Planning Authority considers the loss of the buildings to be unwarranted and would adversely affect the character and appearance of the Conservation Area.
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.
