Tel 01624 685950 Samson Designs Mr S T Samson The Workshop Park Road Port St Mary 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 John Morris, Ref 16/00177/GB, for the Conversion of existing garage/store area into additional ground floor living accommodation (in association with 16/00178/CON) at The Old Sail Loft Shore Road Underway Port St. Mary Isle Of Man IM9 5DX for the following reason(s): 1. The conversion of the garage would lead to the property not having available to it, two full sized car parking spaces (minimum 5m in length) which would result in a greater incidence of parking on the highway which is considered unsuitable for such, given its width and alignment and use by a significant number of pedestrians. Whilst it is acknowledged that there is evidence that two vehicles can physically park in the available space now, these are not necessarily the length of any future vehicle which may be required to be parked there and in addition, if the garage door were replaced with a window, it is likely that any parked vehicles will be further from the window to provide outlook and light, reducing the amount of parking space available. 2. The lack of adequate parking provision could result in vehicles overhanging the highway and/or a greater incidence of parking on the highway, both of which would have an adverse visual impact on the character and appearance of the Registered Building. Date of Issue: 4th July 2016 Interim Director of Planning and Building Control
