Why was this refused?

Insufficient details on air extraction system
Noise, disturbance and smells impacting residential amenity
Limited parking on narrow A3 highway
Increased illegal parking and road safety risks
Previous refusals for similar takeaway uses on site
Proximity to neighbouring residential properties

The proposal involved changing the use of P J Antiques, a shop on the narrow Main Road (A3) in the centre of Kirk Michael village, to a restaurant/takeaway, assumed to be Chinese based on the applicant's name.

Refusal Reasons

✗There is in the application insufficient information to allow a proper assessment of the air extraction system that would inevitably be required in association with the proposed restaurant/takeaway use. In so far as it has been possible to assess the proposed use, it has been judged that that it would create noise, disturbance and smells which would have a harmful effect on the amenity of nearby residents.
✗Notwithstanding the above, there are limited opportunities for on street parking along the Main Road which is a particularly narrow stretch of the A3 highway through Kirk Michael Village. The use and in particular the takeaway use would lead to an increase in on street parking including illegal parking which would be contrary to the interests of road safety.
