Tel 01624 685950 Mick Stott 2 Cronk Rhenny Villa Quines Hill Port Soderick Braddan, Isle of Man IM4 1AU TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING ACT 1999 The Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2019 In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act, and subordinate Orders and Regulations, the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture determined to REFUSE an application by Tracey Bell, Ref 25/90249/B, for the Erection of new four-storey dwelling house at Land Adjoining 44 Victoria Road Douglas Isle Of Man for the following reason(s): 1. By virtue of the proximity to the existing buildings, no.44 and no.46 Victoria Road, the proposed building would disrupt the general rhythm of the overall group of buildings and result in an incongruous built development between the period buildings. Therefore the proposal does not accord with the Residential Design Guide (2021) and is contrary to Strategic Policy 4 and 5, Environment Policy 42 and General Policy 2 (b), (c) of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan (2016). 2. The design does not protect or enhance the local character and there is no overarching need that outweighs that harm. Therefore the proposal is contrary to Strategic Policy 4 and 5, Environment Policy 42 and General Policy 2 (b), (c) of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan (2016). 3. The design, incorporating elevations beyond neighbouring front and rear elevations and balconies would result in unacceptable levels of actual and perceived harm to existing residential amenity. Therefore the proposal does not accord with the Residential Design Guide (2021) and is contrary to General Policy 2(g) of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan (2016).
