Tel 01624 685950 Hartford Homes Ltd Peterson House Middle River Douglas IM2 1AL 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 Hartford Homes Ltd, Ref 18/01106/B, for the Erection of a detached dwelling with associated parking at Land To The West Of 17 Royal Park Royal Park Ramsey Isle Of Man for the following reason(s): 1. The proposed bungalow, by reason of its size and height, and its proximity to the neighbouring property 12 Rheast Mooar Avenue, would adversely affect the residential amenity of that neighbouring property, particularly in respect of having an overbearing impact and would therefore be un-neighbourly and dominant in respect of the outlook and enjoyment of the occupiers. As such the proposed development is contrary to criterion (g) of General Policy 2: of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016. 2. The proposal would result in the loss of an area of public open space as indicated and approved under the previous planning application 04/02310/B. Approval of the application to allow the encroachment of residential development into land that is designated as public open space would detract from the character and amenities of the development and would result in an unwanted precedent in this area and in other areas of public open space within the Island contrary to criteria a and b of General Policy 2 and Environment Policy 42 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016 as well as Ramsey Local Plan policy R/R/P3.
