# DEC Decision Notice

Arch-Tec (IOM) Ltd The Architectural Studio 2nd Floor 20 Duke Street Douglas IM1 2AY

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 Mark & Mrs Shannon Smith, Ref 19/00843/B, for the Alterations, erection of rear first floor extension and installation of dormer windows at 21 Kissack Road Castletown Isle Of Man IM9 1NW for the following reason(s):

1. General Policy 2 of the Strategic Plan requires that development has an acceptable impact on the surrounding area and this is further guided by the Department's Residential Design Guidance adopted in March 2019. This clearly presumes against flat roofed extensions and annexes which do not follow the style and design of the buildings to which they would be attached, particularly where the works would be publicly visible. In this case, the two storey flat roofed extension would be visible from both Kissack and Scarlett Roads and would appear as an incongruous and clumsy addition to the built fabric. The rear extension is therefore contrary to GP2b, c and g.

Date of Issue: 26th September 2019

## Director of Planning and Building Control
