### Reasons For Refusal:

1. The display of the advertisement would be contrary to General Policy 6 and Environment Policy 37 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan (20th June 2007) by reason of the siting, design, materials and the location would introduce a prominent and incongruous advertisement into the street scene which would not preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and would cause demonstrable harm to the visual amenities of the locality.

This decision was made by the Senior Planning Officer under the authority delegated by the Department under Regulation 6(2) of the Control of Advertisements Regulations 2005.
