In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act and Order the PLANNING COMMITTEE of the Department of Local Government and the Environment does hereby REFUSE the following application made on behalf of:
Name: Forest Homes Ltd Proposal: Approval in principle for the development of 34 dwellings with associated parking at: Land Off Crescent Road Ramsey Isle Of Man
which was considered on 19th July 2007, for the reasons set out below.
Date of Issue: 24th July 2007
Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas
Deputy Secretary Planning Committee
Reasons For Refusal:
- The proposed layout would be contrary to Policy R/T/P6 of the Ramsey Local Plan and Recreation Policy 3 of the emerging Isle of Man Strategic Plan (June 2007) in that the development does not provide adequate open space provision within the proposed layout.
- The proposed development by reason of its design, layout and density will result in an over intensive use of the site:-
i) overdevelop the site resulting in the unacceptable road layout contrary to Manx Road 1 and Transport Policy 4 of the Strategic Plan within the area and result in noise and general disturbance to the amenity of nearby residents; and
ii) parking of private motor vehicles to the front of the majority of the dwellings building line will create a poor outlook for residents and would detract from the amenity of the area
- The proposed development makes no provisions for Affordable Housing provisions and therefore contrary to Housing Policy 5 of the Strategic Plan.
This decision was made by the Planning Committee constituted in accordance with Article 3(1) of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2005.
