Refusal Decision Notice

Town and Country Planning Act 1999

Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005

Mr G Coleman Roadside Cottage Rhencullen Kirk Michael Isle Of Man

In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act and Order the Department of Local Government and the Environment does hereby REFUSE the following application made on behalf of:

Name: Mr G Coleman Proposal: Temporary storage of scaffolding at: Beachfield Farm Beachfield Farm Lane Kirk Michael Isle Of Man IM6 1HB

which was considered on 21 July 2006, for the reasons set out below.

Date of Issue: 26th July, 2006

Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas Secretary Planning Committee

Reason(S) For Refusal:

1. The site is not designated for development or for commercial use and is within an area zoned as open space (Agriculture) countryside. The introduction of this proposal would be inappropriate and would amount to introduction of a commercial use into the countryside contrary to the land designation in the Isle of Man Development Plan Order 1982. The applicant has not demonstrated that there is sufficient need to justify such a building within the open countryside.

1. The Shore Road is insufficiently wide in terms of both carriageway and unable to accommodate two way traffic and large commercial vehicles which will be to the detriment of the free flow of the traffic. Also its junction with Shore Road/Station Road offers inadequate visibility for drivers of emerging vehicles. As such the site could not be satisfactorily serviced in terms of the road network.

1. The operation of a commercial use would cause disturbance of a nuisance to local residents from vehicle passing nearby residential properties.

NOTE 1. As the use has already commenced it should cease with 28 days of this decision becoming final. Failure to cease the use will render the applicant liable to enforcement proceedings.

This decision was made by the Director of Planning and Building control in accordance with the authority delegated to him under Article 3(13) of the Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005

The decision contained in this notice does not become final until either;

• The time for requesting an appeal has expired; or
• Any appeal has been determined;

Whichever is the later.

Any appeal against this decision must be in writing and must be received by this Department within 21 days of the date of this notice.
