Planning Refusal Notice

Town and Country Planning Act 1999

Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005

Mr Stuart Blackley Fo-Glion Glen Rushen Road Glen Maye Isle Of Man IM5 3BA In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act and Order the Department of Local Government and the Environment does hereby REFUSE the following application made on behalf of:

Name: Mr Stuart Blackley Proposal: Erection of a detached garage with ancillary living accommodation above at: Fo-Glion Glen Rushen Road Glen Maye Isle Of Man IM5 3BA which was considered on 14th August 2009, for the reasons set out below. Date of Issue: 17th August 2009 Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas

Deputy Secretary to the Planning Committee

Reason(S) For Refusal:

1. The proposed detached garage with first floor living accommodation above would, by reason of its size, siting and design create the impression that an additional dwelling has been constructed in this rural location recognised as being of High Landscape Value and Scenic Significance, contrary to established policies which seek to protect the character of the countryside for its own sake.
2. Notwithstanding the policy objection to the principle of the proposed development, the design of the garage with accommodation above is considered to be inappropriate to the rural location and as such would appear visually incongruous within the surrounding landscape.
