Refusal Notice 11/01366/A
Town and Country Planning Act 1999
Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005
Cynthia Holloway-Jones Loughcroute Jurby East Isle of Man IM7 3HA
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: Cynthia Holloway-Jones Proposal: Approval in principle for erection of a dwelling at:
- Land At
- Loughcroute
- Jurby East
- Isle of Man
which was considered on 14th November 2011, for the reasons set out below.
Date of Issue: 15th November 2011
Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas
Mrs P Faragher Deputy Secretary to the Planning Committee
Reason(S) For Refusal:
- The erection of a dwelling on this site would represent an unwarranted development in the Island's countryside and would be contrary to both the land use provisions of the Isle of Man Planning Scheme (Development Plan) Order 1982 and to the provisions of the Island Strategic Plan, in particular to the Strategic Aim, Strategic Policies 1c, 2 and 10, Spatial Policy 5, General Policy 3, Environment Policy 1 and Housing Policy 4. Approval of this application would thus establish a precedent for further unwarranted development in the Island's countryside.
- There is insufficient information contained within the application to be able to be confident that a proposed dwelling could be erected with the appropriate safe access and egress and without adversely affecting existing hedgerows and trees of wildlife interest or the existing watercourse which runs through the site.
This decision was made by the Development Control Manager in accordance with the authority delegated to her under Article 3(13) of the Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005.
