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:** Norlands Ltd
**Proposal:** Conversion of basement level into two apartments with additional car parking for three cars
**at:** 38 - 40 Castlemona Avenue

### Reasons For Refusal:

1. The proposal would constitute unsatisfactory, over-intensive development of the site, resulting in:
a) accommodation having a limited outlook and a generally poor environment;
b) loss of existing storage space for the existing flats and for refuse bins; and
c) tight parking spaces which would be difficult to use and sometimes inaccessible.

2. 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.
