Approval in principle for the erection of a dwelling and two garages

Refusal Reasons

• ✗By reason of its designation under the Onchan Local Plan Order 2000 the proposal is contrary to the presumption against residential development outside of areas designated for such purpose, as set out by policy O/RES/P/22 of Planning Circular 1/2000 and the general provisions of Planning Circular 1/88 (Revised). As such, the erection of a dwelling on the application site represents unwarranted encroachment into the countryside to the detriment of the amenity of the area.
• ✗By reason of its designation under the Onchan Local Plan Order 2000 the proposal is contrary to the presumption against development that would have an adverse impact or effect on an area of ecological interest, as set out by policy O/NC/P/2 of Planning Circular 1/2000.
• ✗Due to its location within proximity of Clypse and Kerrowdhoo Reservoirs the proposed development is considered inappropriate by reason that the development and use of the site for residential purposes would increase the possibility of the pollution of an existing or future public water supply.
