Refusal Notice 07/01101/A
Town and Country Planning Act 1999
Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005
Kelly Lewthwaite Building Design 23 Market Street Douglas IM1 2PA
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: Jennifer Quiggin Proposal: Approval in principle for a residential development with associated parking to replace existing dwelling at: Brae Villa Tromode Road Douglas Isle Of Man IM2 5EJ
which was considered on 16th August 2007, for the reasons set out below.
Date of Issue: 23rd August, 2007 Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas
Reason(S) For Refusal:
- The indicative drawings illustrate a considerable over-development of the site which would result in:
a) a large building, close to the road and to the side boundaries, and covering much of the site; the development would thus be out of keeping with the surrounding area which is characterised by individual dwellings standing in their own green space; and b) there being inadequate pleasant external space for the residents of the proposed flats.
- The indicative layout would be contrary to Recreation Policy 3 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007 in that the development does not provide adequate open space provision within the proposed layout.
- The indicative layout would be contrary to Housing Policy 5 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007 in that the development would not provide the necessary affordable housing in accordance with the policy and the Housing Assistance Scheme 2007.
