Tel 01624 685950 Progeny Ltd 51A Victoria Street Douglas Isle Of Man IM1 2LD TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING ACT 1999 The Town and Country (Control of Advertisements) Regulations 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 Carrera Digital Ltd, Ref 15/01046/D, for the Erection of advertising signage at Falcon House 22 - 24 Ridgeway Street Douglas Isle Of Man IM1 1EL for the following reason(s): 1. The proposed advertising signage would not carry advertisements relating to the business carried on within the site. As such, the proposal conflicts with General Policy 7 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007. 2. The proposed signage would, by virtue of its materials, size and location on a prominent part of a building that is itself within a prominent, visually sensitive and well-used location and conservation area, fails to respect the existing form or features of the building on which it would sit and is therefore contrary to parts (a) and (b) of General Policy 6 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007 and to Environment Policy 37. Date of Issue: 17th November 2015 Director of Planning and Building Control
