Mrs P Faragher

Deputy Secretary to the Planning Committee

REASON(S) FOR REFUSAL:

1. The proposed extension would be contrary to General Policy 2 and paragraph 8.12.1 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007 by reason that its siting, design, projection and height would result in demonstrable harm to the residential environment of No. 11 Woodbourne Villas in terms of being overbearing, visually intrusive and causing a tunnelling effect.
