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 & Mrs Martin Proposal: Approval in principle to demolish existing dwelling and the construction of four terraced town houses at: Vine Villa

IM1 3LS
which was considered on 18th December 2008, for the reasons set out below. Date of Issue: 22nd December 2008 Murray House
Mount Havelock
Douglas
Deputy Secretary to the Planning Committee
Reason(S) For Refusal:
- The proposed redevelopment of the site would be contrary to Policy CA/6 of Planning Policy Statement 1/01 and Environment Policies 35 and 39 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007 in that no proper assessment has been carried out to assess the merits/justification for the demolition of the existing building. In the absence of such an assessment it is considered that the demolition of the existing building would adversely affect the character and appearance of the Conservation Area. Furthermore, there is insufficient information from which to conclude that the replacement buildings would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Conservation Area.
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.
