# DEC Decision Notice

Technical Drawing Services 4 College Green Castletown Isle Of Man IM9 1BE

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 Julian Askew, Ref 19/00183/B, for the Erection of extension to provide garage with terrace above at 3 Cooil Ushtey Port Lewaigue Ramsey Isle Of Man IM7 1AQ for the following reason(s):

1. The proposed development, by virtue of its siting and the creation of the open terrace/balcony located at the first floor level would adversely affect neighbouring residential amenity of the existing dwelling at No. 2 Cooil Ushtey through direct overlooking of the rear garden/amenity area, the rear conservatory and habitable windows. The proposed dwelling is therefore contrary to part (g) of General Policy 2 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016 and the Department's published Residential Design Guidance (March 2019).
