Refusal Notice 09/01969/A
Town and Country Planning Act 1999
Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005
Penketh - Millar 23 West Quay Ramsey Isle of Man IM8 1DL
In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act and Order the Department of Infrastructure does hereby REFUSE the following application made on behalf of:
Name: Mr John Maddrell Proposal: Approval in principle for erection of an agricultural worker's dwelling at: Balla Ny Baa Blue Point Road The Lhen Ramsey Isle of Man
which was considered on 27th October 2010, for the reasons set out below.
Date of Issue: 29th October 2010 Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas
Mrs P Faragher Deputy Secretary to the Planning Committee
Reason(S) For Refusal:
- It is considered that the justification for an agricultural dwelling on this site has not been adequately proven and that there are no exceptional circumstances to override planning policy, especially as the justification indicated relies on the continuation of the lease of ‘Kerroogarroo Farm’ by a third party which cannot be guaranteed; therefore the proposal is contrary to General Policy 3 and Housing Policy 7 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan.
- As the access onto the A10 is a de-restricted A road visibility splays of $2 \times 150$ metres are required. It is considered these splays cannot be achieved for this proposed dwelling and therefore such development would have an adverse impact upon highway safety in this area.
This decision was made by the Senior Planning Officer in accordance with the authority delegated to her under Article 3(13) of the Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005.
