Tel 01624 685950 McGarrigle Architects Ltd 19 Mount Havelock Douglas Isle Of Man IM1 2QG 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 Celebrations Ltd, Ref 22/01542/B, for the Renovation works to existing small block of 3 apartments, replacement windows and external doors, new longer roof dormer to replace the existing 3 smaller roof dormers and a cycle store for 6 cycles in lieu of car parking at Tower House Tower Road Ramsey Isle Of Man IM8 2EA for the following reason(s): 1. The dormer proposed to the front roof plane of the property, by reason of its size, scale, mass and flat roof design is considered to be incongruous with the traditional appearance of the existing property, and would notably increase the bulk of the dwelling at roof level towards the front of the property in a manner that would distort the appearance of the building. 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. 2. The design, massing and siting of the proposed dormer on the principle elevation of the property would have a significant adverse impact upon the visual quality of the property, resulting in adverse impacts upon the overall historic and traditional appearance of the street scene and surrounding area, failing to make a positive contribution to the appearance of the existing street scene. Therefore, the proposal would fails to comply with Strategic Polices 3(b) and Environment Policy 42, and General Policy 2 (b), (c) and (g) of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016.
