IM1 2LD

In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act and Order the PLANNING COMMITTEE of the Department of Local Government and the Environment does hereby REFUSE the following application made on behalf of:

**Name:** Mr T Foster
**Proposal:** Conversion of outbuildings to a dwelling
**at:**
Elgin
Jacks Lane
Port E Vullen
Ramsey
Isle of Man
IM7 1AW

which was considered on 25th January 2008, for the reasons set out below.

**Date of Issue:** 29th January 2008

Murray House
Mount Havelock
Douglas

Deputy Secretary to the Planning Committee

### Reason(S) For Refusal:

1. By reason of the extent of the alteration and extension of the building it is concluded that the proposed development fails to accord with Housing Policy 11 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007, resulting in a building that neither reflects the original building nor is traditional in appearance to compensate.

2. By reason of the distance between the two properties, its internal layout and the lack of opportunity to provide suitable screening or boundary treatment it is concluded that the proposed dwelling will result in an unacceptable adverse impact on the residential amenity of the neighbouring property known as Elgin Stables.

This decision was made by the Planning Committee constituted in accordance with Article 3(1) of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2005.

The decision contained in this notice does not become final until either;
- The time for requesting an appeal has expired; or
- Any appeal has been determined;

Whichever is the later.

Any appeal against this decision must be in writing and must be received by this Department within 21 days of the date of this notice.

A form and guidance notes are available from either the Planning Office, Tel 685950, or to download from the Department's website www.gov.im/dlge/planning/plan/applications/decision.xml

A copy of the Officer's report, which led to this decision, is attached for reference. This report, together with correspondence relative to the application, is available for inspection by anyone wishing to view it at the Department.
