Refusal Decision Notice
Town and Country Planning Acts, 1934 - 1991
Isle of Man Planning Scheme (Development Plan) Order 1982
J T Skillicorn Ltd Second Avenue Onchan
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: J T Skillicorn Ltd Proposal: Approval in principle for the erection of a workshop, storage and office unit at:
- Land To Rear Of Garage
- Church Road
- Onchan
- Isle Of Man
which was considered on 20 January 2006, for the reasons set out below.
Date of Issue: 27 January, 2006
Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas
Secretary Planning Committee
Reasons For Refusal:
- The planning application fails to:
a) provide sufficient details of the vehicle parking and access arrangement for the proposed development; and b) provide sufficient details of the access arrangements, including sightlines and visibility splays, for the proposed development.
- Notwithstanding the first reason for refusal the proposed development is contrary to the zoning of the Isle of Man (Onchan Local Plan) Order 2000. Under this local plan the application site is entirely within an area zoned for residential/office/retail mixed use development. The proposed use does not accord with that zoning.
- Notwithstanding the first reason for refusal it is also considered that by virtue of its potential visual impact, noise nuisance, traffic generation and general disturbance the proposed development and its subsequent use would have an unacceptably adverse impact on the amenity of the surrounding area and in particular the residential amenity of the surrounding residential dwellings.
- 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.
