Tel 01624 685950 JTM Architecture The Basement 16 Derby Road Douglas Isle Of Man IM2 3ET TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING ACT 1999 The Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2019 In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act, and subordinate Orders and Regulations, the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture determined to REFUSE an application by Mr Gareth & Mrs Gemma Roby, Ref 21/00631/B, for the Alterations and erection of a 2 storey extension to side elevation at 56 Summerhill Road Onchan Isle Of Man IM3 1NF for the following reason(s): 1. The scale and design of the rear element of the extension, including the roof design and rear second floor window, would introduce an incongruous and unsympathetic element to the dwelling which would harm the appearance of the site and the overall character and appearance of the street scene when considered against the overall design in the area. In this regard, the proposal would not accord with General Policy 2 (b,c,g) of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan. 2. The rear extension, by virtue of the introduction of a large habitable room second floor window facing southeast, would introduce an unacceptable level of overlooking (both perceived and actual), resulting in harm to the residential amenity of the occupants of 26 The Park through loss of privacy and direct views into the conservatory and rear garden of that property. In this respect the proposal would be contrary to General Policy 2 (g) of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan. Date of Issue: 13th August 2021 Director of Planning and Building Control
