Tel 01624 685950 Haven Homes Ltd The Old Chapel 32-34 Malew Street Castletown Isle Of Man IM9 1AF 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 Rockfell Limited, Ref 22/00186/B, for the Installation of glass balustrading to Cottage 3 first floor and erection of single storey side extension including viewing platform with associated works at Glen Moar Cottage 3 & Field 312273 Glen Helen Road Laurel Bank St Johns Isle Of Man IM4 3NN for the following reason(s): 1. The proposed extension of Glen Moar Cottages to create a marshalling station and viewing platform will result in built development that will harm the character of the countryside and an Area of High Landscape Value contrary to Policies EP1 and EP2 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016. The proposals will be of a form, scale, siting and design that is out of keeping with the A3 streetscene which is characterised by its rural, verdant appearance. For these reasons the proposals are considered contrary to Policies GP2 and GP3 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016. There are no overriding reasons of essential national need for marshalling facilities that outweigh the conflicts with policy identified. Date of Issue: 6th January 2023 Director of Planning and Building Control
