Why was this approved?

proximity to neighbouring properties
unneighbourly impact on residential amenity
tree loss opportunities from storm damage
siting dictated by trees but now adjustable
privacy concerns from rear and dormer windows
compliance with local plan for one dwelling

The proposal was for a single dormer bungalow and detached single-storey garage on a wooded site allocated in the Arbory and East Rushen Local Plan as Development Area 13 for one dwelling. The site is to the rear of the Colby Pump on Main Road, Colby, in a residential area.

Refusal Reasons

✗It would appear following the storm damage done to the trees on site that there is scope for the erection of a dwelling which would be further from the existing property and less unneighbourly thereto whilst at the same time not resulting in unacceptable tree loss. This was not the case when the initial decision was taken in respect of this application on the 10th December 2004. As such, the Committee is of the view that the proposed dwelling is unnecessarily and unacceptably close to existing property and would be unneighbourly thereto.
