Decision Notice

Miss Charlotte Quirk 89 Snaefell Road Willaston IM2 6NF

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 Miss Charlotte Quirk, Ref 16/00381/C, for the Change of use from arboricultural and vehicular storage to a dog day-care and grooming business (retrospective) at Sheds The Tanyard Braaid Road St Marks Ballasalla Isle Of Man for the following reason(s):

• 1. Access to the site is dangerously inadequate and as such, any use which intensifies the comings and goings to and from the site, from that which would result from the lawful use of the site, is considered unacceptable and contrary to Strategic Policy 10.
• 2. The proposed use has considerable potential for noise nuisance resulting from a number of dogs being accommodated on the site - particularly when they are entering and leaving the building, which would result in an adverse impact on the living conditions of those in nearby properties, particularly Tanyard House.

Date of Issue: 23rd June 2016

Interim Director of Planning and Building Control
