Mr Jonathan Mark Drewry Foxdale House Kionslieu Hill Foxdale IM4 3HB
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 Jonathan Mark Drewry Proposal: Approval in principle to remove existing dwelling and outbuildings and erection of four dwellings at: Old Craft Centre Kionslieu Hill Foxdale Isle of Man IM4 3HB
which was considered on 11th April 2012, for the reasons set out below.
Date of Issue: 12th April 2012
Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas
Mrs P Faragher Deputy Secretary to the Planning Committee
Reason(S) For Refusal:
- By reason of the siting, layout, scale, form and design of the proposed buildings it is considered that the proposal would not respect the site and surroundings and would adversely affect the character of the surrounding landscape and would therefore be contrary to part b) and c) of General Policy 2 of the Strategic Plan.
- The proposed development would be contrary to g) of General Policy 2 of the Strategic Plan as the proposed development would result in overlooking of "Rose Hill" which would adversely affect the amenities of those occupying the neighbouring property. The proposed development would also be contrary to h) of General Policy 2 as there is unsatisfactory amenity space to serve the proposed development.
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.
