Refusal Notice 12/01046/B
Town and Country Planning Act 1999
Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005
Carl Jenkins Design 10 Church Street Peel Isle Of Man IM5 1HL
In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act and Order the Department of Infrastructure does hereby REFUSE the following application made on behalf of:
Name: Mrs Danielle Lunt Proposal: Installation of a dormer window to rear elevation of dwelling at: 25 Linden Gardens Douglas Isle Of Man IM2 6AB
which was considered on 4th September 2012, for the reasons set out below. Date of Issue: 5th September 2012 Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas
Mrs C Dudley Deputy Secretary to the Planning Committee
Reason(S) For Refusal:
- The form, design and siting of the proposed flat roof dormer is unsympathetic with the character of the existing property and would introduce a detrimental feature to the visual amenities of the locality and detract from the surrounding area contrary to General Policy 2 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007.
- The proposed dormer fails to comply with Building Regulations by reason that it cannot gain maximum headroom height from the top stair to ceiling and roof surface from the eaves to the vertical plane of the dormer and therefore cannot not meet a standard living environment for the residents of 25 Linden Gardens.
This decision was made by the Director of Planning and Building Control in accordance with the authority delegated to him under Article 3(13) of the Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005.
