Miss E.J. Callow Secretary, Planning Committee Department of Environment Food and Agriculture, Planning & Building Control Directorate, Murray House, Mount Havelock, DOUGLAS, IM1 2SF. Dear Miss Callow, 26^{\text {th }} November 2015. Planning Application No 15/01240/B of 05.11 .15 in respect of erection of a dwelling at Chris's Cottage, Old Laxey Hill, Laxey, IM4 7BS.

Further to a meeting of Laxey Village Commissioners on Wednesday 18^{\text {th }} November 2015, I am directed to inform you that the Board recommends refusal of this planning application on the grounds outlined below:

• The development is over intensive for the site in question,
• It has an adverse impact on the visual amenity of the surrounding area and properties therein,
• The amount of parking provision proposed is inadequate for the size of property, therefore the proposal fails to meet the requirements of Laxey and Loan Area Plan Order 2005, policy L/CP/PR/2.
• The Development does not comply with or meet the criteria of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan, 6.2 - Development within land-use zones General Policy 2 in that; (b). it doesn't respect the site and surroundings in terms of the siting, layout, scale, form, design and landscaping of buildings and the spaces around them; (c). does affect adversely the character of the surrounding landscape or townscape; (g). does affect adversely the amenity of local residents and the character of the locality. Yours sincerely

Peter Burgess Clerk to the Board of Laxey Village Commissioner
