Tel 01624 685950 AH Grace Ltd 4 Furman Close Onchan IM3 1BT TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING ACT 1999 The Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2019 In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act, and subordinate Orders and Regulations, the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture determined to REFUSE an application by Mr Jason Elliott, Ref 21/01263/B, for the Erection of a double garage at Land Adjoining Ard Reayrt And Rear To Wayside Laxey Isle Of Man for the following reason(s): 1. The erection of a garage on this site would be contrary to the Development Plan. Approval of such a scheme on land designated for "Open Space" within an urban environment would erode such open space and set a significant precedent for similar types of development within existing settlements in the Isle of Man and therefore contrary to General Policy 3 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016 and the Area Plan for the East 2020. 2. The proposal would generate vehicles to and from the site that would not be associated with existing dwellings in the area to the detriment of residential amenity and would require the use of an access with poor visibility which would have a significant adverse impact upon highway safety for all road users and is therefore contrary to Transport Policy 7 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016. 3. It has not been demonstrated that the application would not have a harmful effect on the existing trees within the site or upon the ecology within the site. The application is therefore contrary to Environment Policy 3 & 4 & Strategic Policy 4 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016. Date of Issue: 25th February 2022 Director of Planning and Building Control
