Tel 01624 685950 Savage & Chadwick Armitage House Lord Street Douglas Isle Of Man IM1 1LE 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 an application by EFB (IOM) Ltd, Ref 15/00004/B, for the Variation of condition two of PA 11/01290/A for creation of a leisure / industrial development to extend the period of approval at Land Adjacent Industrial Estate Ballafletcher Road Cronkbourne Douglas Isle Of Man for the following reason(s): 1. Since the previous Approval in Principle was granted, there have been changes in circumstances, notably the approval of 14/00836/B 'The creation of warehouse, café and offices' in Peel Road, Douglas. Without the benefit of a Retail Impact Assessment that takes into account the cumulative impact of the proposal and other new development, the Committee is unable to assess the impact of the development on the vitality and viability of existing town centres and as such the proposal could be contrary to Business Policies 9 and 10 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan. As such it is not considered appropriate to extend the current approval in principle for a further period of time. Date of Issue: 27th March 2015 Director of Planning and Building Control
