Prior Refusal Notices 05/01307/B

Town and Country Planning Acts, 1934 - 1991

Isle of Man Planning Scheme (Development Plan) Order 1982

McGarrigle & Jackson 19 Mount Havelock Douglas IM1 2QG

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

Name: P & M Purcell Proposal: Demolition and rebuilding of rear outlet together with renovations and alterations to existing building to form three self contained apartments with adjacent parking at: Parnassus 3 King Edward Road Onchan Isle Of Man IM3 2JA

which was considered on 7 October 2005, for the reasons set out below.

Date of Issue: 13th October, 2005 Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas

Secretary Planning Committee

Reasons For Refusal:

1. The proposed development is inappropriate and unacceptable by reason that:

a) The proposed development is contrary to the provisions of Planning Circular 2/88 – The Conversion of Buildings into Flats. Specifically, the layout of apartment no. 2 is contained entirely within the rear outlet and the outlook from its principal room (the lounge) is neither pleasant nor clear;

b) The increase in height and depth of the proposed rear outlet would cause significant harm to the amenity and living environment of the adjoining dwelling;

c) The existing access arrangements and those proposed by the planning application are inadequate to cater for the additional traffic generated by the proposed development. Specifically, the access lane does not allow two motor vehicles to pass each other and is in a poor state of repair.

d) The proposed development fails to provide sufficient readily useable car parking to serve the needs of the apartments. Specifically, the position and orientation of car parking spaces 5 and 6 mean that their use would require excessive and unreasonable manoeuvring.

1. This decision was made by the Planning Committee constituted in accordance with Paragraph 2 of Schedule 1 of the Isle of Man Planning Scheme (Development Plan) Order 1982.

Note 1: The decision contained in this notice does not become final until:-

• the time for requesting a review of the initial decision has expired; or
• any review of the initial decision has been completed; or
• the time for requesting an appeal in relation to any decision at review has expired; or
• any appeal has been completed.

Note 2: Rights of review against the decision are attached.
