Planning Refusal Notice

Town and Country Planning Act 1999

Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005

M P Associates Ltd Salisbury House Victoria Street Douglas IM1 2LW 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: Proposal: at:

Braeside Developments Erection of seven dwellings with associated parking and infrastructure Land Off Crescent Road Ramsey Isle Of Man which was considered on 10th October 2008, for the reasons set out below. Date of Issue: 13th October 2008 Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas

Reason(S) For Refusal:

1. The proposed plot layout, particularly between plot 5 and plot 6 , would result in a poor outlook and an overbearing impact, resulting in a detrimental impact upon the residential amenities for future occupiers of the dwelling proposed for plot 6. Additionally, due to the siting, orientation and proximity of plot 6 in relation to plot 5's rear garden, the proposal would result in a significant amount of overlooking resulting in a loss of privacy and therefore would be unacceptable and an un-neighbourly development.
2. By reason of the only vehicular access to the site being outside the ownership of the applicant, the site cannot provide the necessary access to the development. Additionally, it would be premature to approve this application until it can be demonstrated that the appropriate arrangement for access can be achieved.

1. The proposed development fails to make adequate provision for affordable housing in accordance with the requirements of Housing Policy 5 of the approved Strategic Plan.
2. Whist the submitted plans/plots would seem to be able to accommodate the require parking spaces, no details of hard or soft landscaping having been provided and therefore, it is not considered the plans are to an adequate standard to fully assess whether the proposals would comply with Transport Policy 7 as indicated within the Isle of Man 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.
