Duplicate Refusal Decision Notice

Andrea Louise Warrilow Pine View Sulby Glen Sulby Isle of Man IM7 2AZ

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 Infrastructure determined to REFUSE a planning application by Andrea Louise Warrilow, Ref 14/00479/B, for the erection of timber stables block with tack/feed and hay shed at Pine View Sulby Glen Sulby Isle of Man IM7 2AZ for the following reason(s):

1. The proposed stables would be proportionally large compared to the footprint of the main house and size of its rear garden. Although the stables would not be particularly prominent from Sulby Glen Road, they would be very visible from the lane to the immediate north and east (rear) which serves the adjacent houses. It is considered that the stables, by reason of their location and size, would have the appearance of being cramped and squeezed in. Some existing small trees and vegetation within the garden would have to be removed to make way for the stables, which will likely further expose the stables when seen from the lane and other properties. The proposed stables would be visually intrusive and would be detrimental to the character and appearance of the area. The proposal is thus contrary to Environment Policies 1, 19 and 21 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007.

1. The proposed stables, by reason of their very close proximity to residential neighbours, will likely give rise to unacceptable noise and odour impacts to the detriment of the amenities of local residents. The use of the stables would therefore be in environmental conflict with adjacent residential properties and the proposal fails to accord with Environmental Policies 19 and 22 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007.
