Conversion of existing retail shop to a takeaway and installation of extraction unit to rear elevation

Refusal Reasons

• ✗The use of the premises as a hot food takeaway within close proximity to the residential properties (Milner Towers) would result in a detrimental impact upon residential amenities due to an increase in the number of people using the facility and by-passing residential properties in the area, thus increasing the disturbance, noise and nuisance caused to local residents during anti-social hours. Furthermore, the proposed use would also likely result in smells emanating from the premises, again to the detriment of nearby residential amenities, particularly within the apartment block Milner Tower. The proposal is therefore contrary to General Policy 2 and Environment Policy 22 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan.
