In pursuance of his powers under the above Act and Order, the Minister for Infrastructure, the Hon P A Gawne MHK, does hereby in the name of and on behalf of the Department REFUSE planning application 14/00605/A by Mr John William Clegg for Approval in principle for the erection of 2 semi-detached dwellings at land adjacent to Field 131049, Vollan Crescent, Ramsey for the following reason(s):
The proposal is contrary to the provisions of General Policy 3 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007 in that the proposed development does not fall within any of the listed exceptions to the restrictions on development outside areas zoned for development.
The proposal is contrary to the provisions of Environment Policy 42 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007 and Policy R/E/P8 of the Ramsey Local Plan in that the proposed development would cause substantial harm to the character, appearance and visual amenity of the area by reason of the removal of open and green spaces which contribute to the visual amenity and sense of place of this particular area.
The proposal is contrary to Recreation Policy 2 as defined by the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007 which seeks to preserve public open space in the interests of the residents or any visitors to the area.
