# Decision Notice

Carl Jenkins Design 10 Ballaterson Road Peel Isle Of Man IM5 1BJ

TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING ACT 1999 The Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure)(No 2) Order 2013

In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act and Order the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture determined to REFUSE an application by Mr Gordon & Mrs Claire Clague, Ref 18/01174/B, for the Alterations and erection of a two storey extension to side and rear elevations at Ballacreggan Sound Road Glen Maye Isle Of Man IM5 3BJ for the following reason(s):

- 1. The proposed extension would provide self contained living accommodation of a scale and design that would allow it to be occupied separate from the main house. It is not accepted that there is justification for what is essentially a new house in the countryside and as such the proposal is contrary to Environment Policies 1 and 2 and those policies which support sustainable development in the Island's towns and villages - Strategic Aim, Strategic Policies 1c, 2 and 10, Spatial Policy 5, General Policy 3 and Housing Policy 4.
- 2. Notwithstanding reason 1 above, the size and design of the proposed extension conflicts with Housing Polic1y 15 of the Strategic Plan in that it exceeds the recommended 50% in floor area and does not respect the proportion, form and appearance of the existing property. The development would therefore be harmful to the character and appearance of the surrounding countryside which is designated as of High Landscape Value and Scenic Significance and from where a clear view of the proposed works would be available from a public right of way.

Date of Issue: 8th January 2019

## Director of Planning and Building Control
