On 20th March 2013, and in pursuance of powers granted under the above Act and Order, the Department of Infrastructure determined to REFUSE planning application 13/00174/B by Hospice Properties Limited for the alterations, erection of extension and installation of a replacement shop front at Hospice Shop 9 Arbory Street Castletown Isle Of Man IM9 1LH for the following reason(s):

Consequently, the proposals are considered contrary to General Policy 2 and Environment Policy 35 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan.
