Isle of Man Government E i I J » V jr u t f Marown Parish Commissioners Hall Caine Pavilion Old Church Road Crosby IM4 2HA Marown 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 Marown Parish Commissioners, Ref 14/00139/A, for the approval in principle for erection of a multi­ purpose shop at Field 320977 Ballawilleykilley Main Road Crosby Isle of Man for the following reason;

1. Whilst the Commissioners should be applauded for looking at ways in which the local communities can be better served, in this case, whilst preliminary investigations which the Commissioners undertook may have indicated that there was significant support for a local shop, this is not manifest in the views submitted to this application which are mainly opposed to the development. In the absence of demonstrable local support for the development it is considered that there is insufficient justification to set aside the land use designation of the site as Open Space and of High Landscape Value and Scenic Significance and also in view of the precedent which could be established for further development in this particular area, thus undermining the visual separation of Crosby and Glen Vine. Date of Issue; 15th April 2014 Director of Planning and Building Control Guidance Note This decision was made by the Planning Committee in accordance with the authority delegated to it. A copy of the Officer's report which led to the decision is enclosed. Any appeal against this decision must be in accordance with Article 8 of the Order.
