Tel 01624 685950 Partington Nixon & Kinrade 7-9 Drinkwater Street Douglas IM1 1AT 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 Environment, Food and Agriculture determined to REFUSE an application by James David Woolford, Ref 15/00351/B, for the Conversion of existing dwelling into four self- contained apartments at 18 Castlemona Avenue Douglas Isle Of Man IM2 4EH for the following reason(s): 1. The proposal makes no provision for on-site car parking or any alternative. The general lack of parking in the area and the narrow nature of Castlemona Avenue has led to a situation where increased demand for parking spaces has and is likely to result in vehicles parking on the footway and such that the general movement of traffic is made more difficult and the access for emergency vehicles may be compromised. The development will add to this demand and is therefore unacceptable as it is contrary to the Isle of Man Strategic Plan Appendix Seven. Date of Issue: 11th August 2015 Director of Planning and Building Control
