Refusal Decision Notice
Town and Country Planning Act 1999
Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005
Cornerstone Architects 79 Parliament Street Ramsey Isle of Man IM8 1AQ
In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act and Order the PLANNING COMMITTEE of the Department of Infrastructure does hereby REFUSE the following application made on behalf of:
Name: Mr & Mrs Chris Kelly Proposal: Creation of a temporary access track and erection of a temporary general purpose agricultural building to house garden maintenance machinery, vehicles and helicopter at: Cronk Breck Bernahara Road Andreas Isle of Man IM7 3HH
which was considered on 11th June 2012, for the reasons set out below.
Date of Issue: 12th June 2012
Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas
Mrs P Faragher Deputy Secretary to the Planning Committee
Reason(S) For Refusal:
- It is not considered that there is sufficient justification for a building of the size and massing proposed within a residential curtilage in an area not designated for development and where the built development on site already represents a significantly larger development than what it replaced. The building is considered to represent over-development of the site and would be contrary to the provisions of Environment Policy 1 and General Policy 2. Whilst the building is stated to be on site for a temporary period, the building and track are by their nature permanent features and the five year period in which the building and track are to be in situ are not considered to be a short term period.
This decision was made by the Planning Committee constituted in accordance with Article 3(1) of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2005.
