Tel 01624 685950 Mr Christopher Martyn Sharpe Greenbank 33 Mines Road Laxey Isle Of Man IM4 7NH 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 Christopher Martyn Sharpe, Ref 21/01332/C, for the Additional use of summerhouse as self-catering tourist accommodation at Greenbank 33 Mines Road Laxey Isle Of Man IM4 7NH for the following reason(s): 1. The proposal does not provide satisfactory amenity standards within itself and as such does not comply with General Policy 2 (h), nor does it take into account community or personal safety in the design of the summerhouse and the space around it which means the proposal would provide a substandard quality of accommodation. 2. The proposal would result in a change in character of the residential gardens adding a tourist use which would have the potential to increase nuisance, cause perceived and actual overlooking all to the detriment of neighbouring amenity.
