Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005

Heritage Homes Ltd Dandara Group Head Office Isle of Man Business Park Cooil Road Braddan IM2 2SA In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act and Order the PLANNING COMMITTEE of the Department of Local Government and the Environment does hereby REFUSE the following application made on behalf of:

Name: Heritage Homes Ltd Proposal: Residential development of 43 dwellings, including roads, drainage infrastructure, and public open space at: Parts of Fields 315097,311825 & 311826 Adjoining Reayrt Ny Keylley To the south of Derby Road/Poortown Road Peel which was considered on 12th November 2009, for the reasons set out below. Date of Issue: 17th November 2009 Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas

REASON(S) FOR REFUSAL:

1. The proposed development is premature given the absence of a clear timeframe for the implementation of the improvement programme to increase the capacity of the public sewerage system, and the use of an independent sewage treatment plant is inappropriate for long term use.
2. The location of the proposed sewage treatment plant is unacceptable by reason that the adjacent land has been subject to flooding and by reason of its unneighbourliness adjacent to the school playing fields.
3. The proposed development is premature given that the requirement for housing need for the West as set out in the Strategic Plan has already largely been met for the period of 2001-2016.

This decision was made by the Planning Committee constituted in accordance with Article 3(1) of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2005.
