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:
Mr Peter Anthony Lunt
Proposal:
Erection of a smoking shelter and replacement front wall (retrospective)
at:
2 Murrays Road
Douglas
Isle of Man
IM2 3HT
which was considered on 13th February 2012, for the reasons set out below. Date of Issue: 16th February 2012 Murray House
Mount Havelock
Douglas
Mrs P Faragher
Deputy Secretary to the Planning Committee
Reason(S) For Refusal:
- The smoking shelter adversely affects the character of the streetscene on Murrays Road and views into the adjacent Douglas (Ballaquayle Road) Conservation Area. The replacement front wall does not attempt to conform with the character of the original wall or existing walls along Murrays Road and therefore adversely impacts on the streetscene along Murrays Road. Neither proposal is considered to respect the character of the Registered Building, the former Falcon Okells Brewery building. As such, the proposal is concluded to be contrary to the provisions of General Policy 2 and Environment Policy 36 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007.
This decision was made by a Senior Planning Officer in accordance with the authority delegated to them under Article 3(13) of the Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005.
