Why was this refused?

lack of proven need for garaging
overdevelopment and excessive site coverage
over-intensive use and increased traffic
harm to on-site vegetation
detriment to residential amenities
prejudice to remainder of site

The proposal was for a block of seven garages with storage space in the roof space, finished in white spar dash walls and dark tiles, to replace a builders store/yard on a rectangular site that forms half the depth of a larger vacant plot fronting Droghadfayle Park in a predominantly residential area.

Refusal Reasons

✗There is no evidence to suggest that there is a need within the immediate area for garaging as proposed. As such, the erection of garaging on the site would attract comings and goings by those who may not live close to the site and as such the development of such facilities are not accepted as being complementary to the residential area in which the development is proposed.
✗The proposed development involves built development which abuts the rear and side boundaries of the site and thus constitutes over-development of the site in terms of site coverage. The amount of comings and goings from this number of garages and the space above the garaging is also likely to result in over-intensive usage of the site, all of which will be unneighbourly and detrimental to the amenities of the neighbourhood.
✗The erection of a building which occupies all of the width of the site and which is built up to the rear boundary is likely to adversely affect the existing vegetation - trees and shrubs - on site, to the detriment of the appearance of the area.
✗The proposed development would address the use and maintenance of half of the area which is presently undeveloped. This would prejudice proposals for the use and upkeep of the remainder of the site, to the detriment of the surrounding residential area.

Decision & Reasoning

Refused30 June 2005

The officer noted no real objection to the principle of garaging but found too many garages (seven) with the building occupying too much of the site, resulting in unneighbourliness, possible loss of v…

PORTERINLOCALPLAN

Port Erin Local Plan (Mixed Use zoning)

The site is designated as 'Predominantly Residential' on the Port Erin Local Plan adopted by Tynwald in 1990. The officer assessed the garaging proposal as uncomplementary due to lack of need and potential to attract non-local users, plus overdevelopment and amenity harm conflicting with residential character.
