The size of the proposed dwelling and garage (even reduced to single storey) would far exceed that of the existing property and this, together with the grand style of both new buildings would contribute to a development which is sympathetic neither to the style and character of adjacent property in the area nor to the general policy of the Department on development in the countryside as encapsulated in Planning Circular 3/91.

This is exacerbated by the position of the new dwelling which, together with the height and size of the dwelling will render it a dominating element and significantly more conspicuous in the landscape as viewed from the A2 Douglas - Laxey highway.

NOTE: This review has been considered by the Planning Committee on written evidence. Any additional submissions not previously circulated to interested parties are enclosed herewith.
