Tel 01624 685950 Mr Andrew Henderson 4 Furman Close Onchan Isle Of Man IM3 1BT 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 Ms Wendy Lewis, Ref 19/00357/B, for the Erection of flat roof extension on first floor above existing kitchen at 2 Wesley Terrace Ballasalla Isle Of Man IM9 2DB for the following reason(s): 1. The proposed development would be over dominant in terms of its physical and visual presence to both the rear of the site and other properties within the terrace. The development would also be incongruous in terms of scale, form and design to both the rear of the terrace and its wider setting visible from a public area, namely the school grounds, to the clear detriment of the character and appearance of the terrace. As such, in terms of its inappropriate scale, poor design and resultant unsatisfactory appearance, the proposal would be contrary to the General Policy 2b and c of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan, having regard to the Residential Design Guidance March 2019. 2. The proposed upper storey extension would result in both an impediment to the outlook from, and a material loss of sunlight and daylight to, the window of the adjoining dwelling located to the north at 1 Wesley Terrace. The development would also adversely affect the outlook from and light to the rear of number 3, Wesley Terrace. The development would therefore be contrary to the General Policy 2g of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan and having regard to the Residential Design Guidance of March 2019.
