Refusal Decision Notice
Town and Country Planning Act 1999
Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005
Mr J Ronan & Ms T Brocklebank 26 Mill Street Castletown IM9 1AG
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 J Ronan & Ms T Brocklebank Proposal: Approval in principle for the erection of a dwelling at: The Gate Bayrauyr Road Ballamodha Ballasalla Isle Of Man
which was considered on 13 June 2006, for the reasons set out below.
Date of Issue: 16 June, 2006 Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas Secretary Planning Committee (Signature)
Reasons For Refusal:
- The site is not designated for development on the Isle of Man Planning Scheme (Development Plan) Order 1982. In addition, there have been a series of planning applications for development in this area which have all been refused (PAs 85/0733, 89/1298, 90/1855, 92/0152, 00/1041, 04/2520). As such development of a dwelling in this location would be contrary to the provisions of the 1982 Plan and Planning Circular 1/88 and the policies of the emerging Strategic Plan which support these existing policies and aim to protect the countryside for its own sake. Such development would also be unsustainable as it is some distance from any substantial centre of population and services and it would establish an unfortunate precedent for further unwarranted development in the countryside.
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 (Signature)
