Tel 01624 685950 Technical Drawing Services 4 College Green Castletown Isle Of Man IM9 1BE 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 Mrs Lesley Corlett, Ref 19/00550/B, for the Alterations, extension and raising of roof to create a second floor to dwelling at The Rowans Quines Hill Port Soderick Isle Of Man IM4 1AU for the following reason(s): 1. Whilst the existing building is not traditional it is situated within open fields and at a conspicuous section of the A27 which makes the building easily identifiable without being particularly prominent. What is proposed would increase the built form in a way that is strikingly different in terms of form, mass, materials, and appearance when compared to the existing and the surrounding buildings and the inclusion of additional floor area at roof level makes the dwelling dominating from public views. As such, the proposed design, finish, mass and appearance of the dwelling would have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area, contrary to Housing Policy 16 and General Policy 2b, c and g of the Strategic Plan 2016. 2. The proposed extension, by virtue of its height, location of proposed windows and balcony, and their proximity to the neighbouring dwelling would result in an unacceptable impact upon the residential amenity of the adjacent property 'Four Winds' by causing loss of privacy, and appearing as an overbearing feature as viewed from 'Four Winds'. The proposal would therefore be an un-neighbourly development contrary to General Policy 2 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan. Date of Issue: 4th July 2019 Director of Planning and Building Control
