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

**Name:** Mr C C & Mrs T S Thomas
**Proposal:** Alterations and extensions to dwelling to provide additional living accommodation including a double garage with a flat over and repair to retaining wall

### Reasons For Refusal:

1. As part of the original Nunnery complex, and in particular the Nunnery Mill, the existing house is of some architectural and historic interest; the proposed extensions would engulf the existing building and would disregard its formal symmetry and original mass, so affecting adversely the appearance and interest of the building.

**NOTE** It is recommended that there should be consultation with the Department’s Conservation Officer in relation to the design.

NOTE This decision was made by the Planning Committee constituted in accordance with Paragraph 2 of Schedule 1 of the Isle of Man Planning Scheme (Development Plan) Order 1982.

Note 1: The decision contained in this notice does not become final until:-
- the time for requesting a review of the initial decision has expired; or
- any review of the initial decision has been completed; or
- the time for requesting an appeal in relation to any decision at review has expired; or
- any appeal has been completed.

Note 2: Rights of review against the decision are attached.
