Tel 01624 685950 PT Associates LtdPeter Tyreman 44, Murrays Road Douglas IM2 3HW TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING ACT 1999 The Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2019 In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act, and subordinate Orders and Regulations, the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture determined to REFUSE an application by Mrs Anita Kneen, Ref 22/00318/B, for the Rear dormer extension at 5 Howstrake Drive Onchan Isle Of Man IM3 1BP for the following reason(s): 1. Whilst the installation of the rooflights and removal of the chimney stack are considered unobjectionable, the introduction of a dormer with three windows with views to the rear garden of 7 Howstrake Drive is considered unneighbourly and would adversely affect the privacy and enjoyment of the rear garden of this neighbouring property, contrary to General Policy 2 (g) of the Strategic Plan. 2. The design, scale, massing and siting of the proposed dormer is considered to be incongruous with the appearance of the existing bungalow and would notably increase the bulk of the dwelling at first floor level towards the rear in a manner that would distort the appearance of the dwelling. Therefore, it is concluded that the proposal does not accord with General Policy 2 (b & c) of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan, and the principles of the Residential Design Guide.
