Tel 01624 685950 Kinrade Associates Limited 3 The Courtyard Water Street Ramsey 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 Mr & Mrs David Christian, Ref 18/01158/B, for the Replacement of existing commercial storage building with detached dwelling at Former St Olaves Mens Institute Adjacent To St Olaves School House North Shore Road Ramsey Isle Of Man IM8 3DQ for the following reason(s): 1. It is not clear whether the proposed development would provide sufficient private amenity space for the new dwelling; however it is considered that due to proximity to the existing, neighbouring dwelling, the proposed development will have a poor outlook in terms of overbearing and in terms of being overlooked, which will have a harmful impact on the occupants. The applicant has also not adequately demonstrated that satisfactory access can be achieved. Therefore the principle for the proposed development is considered not to be acceptable in accordance with Policy R/E/P3 of the Ramsey Local Plan 1998 and Environmental Policy 42, General Policy 2 and Transport Policy 7 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016. 2. The proposed dwelling, by virtue of its siting and the locations of the primary windows serving, habitable rooms, would adversely affect neighbouring residential amenity of the existing dwelling at St Olaves School House through direct overlooking between habitable windows. The proposed dwelling is therefore contrary to parts (g) and (h) of General Policy 2 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016. Date of Issue: 17th April 2019 Director of Planning and Building Control
