Planning Refusal Notice
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: Mrs M Baxter Proposal: Erection of detached garage with store / games room above at: The Nab Top Road Crosby Isle of Man IM4 4HL
which was considered on 24th July 2008, for the reasons set out below.
Date of Issue: 28th July 2008 Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas
Deputy Secretary to the Planning Committee
Reason(S) For Refusal:
- Whilst the proposed garage/store building with accommodation above would have a generally attractive appearance, it would be excessive in size and height and would have an appearance not dissimilar to a dwelling. The proposal fails to satisfy the criteria set out by General Policy 3 and as such does not represent an exception to the presumption against development in the countryside. It is not considered that the proposed upper floor is justified so as to warrant the setting aside of policies aimed at protecting the Manx countryside from inappropriate development.

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.
