Refusal Decision Notice
Town and Country Planning Act 1999
Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005
Mr G A Corlett Westfield Grenaby Road Dogmills Ramsey Isle of Man IM7 4AN
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: Mr G A Corlett Proposal: Removal of agricultural tie at: Westfield Grenaby Road Dogmills Ramsey Isle of Man IM7 4AN
which was considered on 24th July 2008, for the reasons set out below.
Date of Issue: 29th July 2008
Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas
Deputy Secretary to the Planning Committee
Reason(S) For Refusal:
- Insufficient evidence has been submitted to demonstrate that the property is no longer required for occupation by an agricultural worker in the island. Accordingly the removal of the agricultural workers condition is insufficiently justified.
Note The Department’s established practice in these matters is to require that the dwelling should be offered for sale for a period of 6 months at a valuation which reflects the limitation on occupancy imposed by the current planning approval; there would usually be a reduction in the free market value of approximately 25 – 30%. The Applicant is recommended to market the property at this discounted rate for a period of 6 months. If after this period the house is still on the market then the applicant is recommended to submit a further application with the relevant evidence.
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.
