Officer's Report

The application seeks approval in principle for the erection of a dwelling on a parcel of land adjacent to a dwelling in Lezayre.

The land is not zoned for residential development and the proposed dwelling does not replace any existing dwelling. Therefore I have to advise that the application is refused on the grounds that it is contrary to policy. Additionally, there are insufficient details of access arrangements onto the Lezayre Road, which should form a second reason for refusal.

Recommended Decision: Refused

Date of Recommendation: 11.07.2005

• : Notes attached to refusals

R 1. The application site is neither zoned for residential development nor does the proposed development represent an appropriate replacement dwelling nor is there appropriate agricultural need for the proposed dwelling. Accordingly, the residential development proposed by this planning application is contrary to the Isle of Man Planning Scheme (Development Plan) Order 1982 and, in particular, the provisions of Planning Circular 1/88.

R 2. Notwithstanding the first reason for refusal the application fails to demonstrate that appropriate vehicular access arrangements, including sightlines and visibility splays, for the application site can be suitably provided.
