The Minister refused following the Planning Inspector's report, which found the proposal did not comply with the Laxey and Lonan Area Plan 2005.
Policy L/RES/PR/12 - Land adjacent to Ballacannel - Area 17
Requires mixture of house types/densities decreasing north-eastward to match existing near Langdale; variety in designs/materials avoiding light colours; landscaping to soften western edge; full sewer details; useful children's play space; at least 20m separation from existing rears accounting for extensions; no access from Croit-e-Quill Road. Officer found compliance via decreasing density, spacing (e.g. 10m Plot 40-Langdale acceptable by orientation), landscaping/cul-de-sacs, drainage details, open space post-consultation, no Croit-e-Quill access. Inspector disagreed: total density (92 vs 70) too high; Plot 40 fails 20m test due to levels/domination; small plots inadequate for low-density intent.
