Review Refusal Decision Notice
Town and Country Planning Acts, 1934 - 1991
Isle of Man Planning Scheme (Development Plan) Order 1982
Kinrade Associates 4 Market Place East Ramsey IM8 1JY
In pursuance of powers granted under the above Acts and Order the Department of Local Government and the Environment does hereby REFUSE the following application made on behalf of:
Name: Caine Bros. (builders) Ltd Proposal: Approval in principle to demolish existing garages, offices, store buildings and workshop and construct new residential development with garaging and off - street car parking (Clarification of proposal address) at: Land Between Gibson Street And Marsden Terrace Ramsey
which was considered on 2 September 2005, for the reasons set out below.
Date of Issue: 6th September, 2005
Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas Secretary Planning Committee
Reasons For Refusal:
- Under the Isle of Man Planning Scheme (Ramsey Local Plan) (No. 2) Order 1998 the application site is located within an area zoned as light industrial use. Accordingly, the residential development of the application site is contrary to this zoning and viewed as inappropriate.
- Notwithstanding the above, the Planning Committee consider that the application site could not be satisfactorily developed for residential development without unacceptable detrimental impact on the existing properties and uses within the surrounding area. Conversely, the existing surrounding properties and use mean that any resultant residential environment created within the application site would be poor.
- Whilst it is acknowledged that the application seeks approval in principle for the residential development of the application site the illustrative site plan, as shown in drawing no. 2744/2 date stamped the 13th August 2004, is considered to demonstrate that residential development of the application site would be inappropriate in terms of the impact on the surrounding area and the impact of the surrounding area on the application site. With particular reference to this illustrative site plan it is considered that the form of the development as shown is inappropriate by virtue of:
a) the three-storey form and density of development in relation to the surrounding area; b) the impact of the development on the existing levels of traffic within the area and the subsequent detrimental intensification of such levels; c) the inappropriate level of car parking provision; d) the potential for overlooking, loss of privacy and overshadowing; and e) the poor quality of environment and amenity created for the new residential properties.
- This review has been considered by the Planning Committee on written evidence. Any additional submissions not previously circulated to interested parties are enclosed herewith.
Note 1: The decision contained in this notice does not become final until:-
- the time for requesting an appeal in relation to any decision at review has expired; or
- any appeal has been completed.
Note 2: Rights of appeal against the decision of the planning committee are attached.
Note 3: An appeal may be requested within a period of 21 days.
