### Reason(S) For Refusal:

1. Whilst the principle of converting the barns is in accordance with Housing Policy 11, the two self-contained units of accommodation and level of traffic that would be generated by such development would result in an increase in vehicles entering into and exiting from the existing lane. Due to the limited visibility onto the main road, the access is considered to be unsuitable to serve the proposed development, and would prejudice highway safety, contrary to Transport Policy 4 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007. *(Handwritten: 28)*

This decision was made by the Acting Senior Planning Officer in accordance with the authority delegated to him under Article 3(13) of the Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005.

*(Handwritten signature and date: 08/01270/A)*

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.
