### Reasons For Refusal:

1. The planning application, which effectively constitutes the erection of a new dwelling, is deemed unacceptable by reason that:
a) the proposed development is contrary to the zoning of the application site under Braddan Parish District Local Plan map no. 3 (South), which designates the application site as being outside of an area designated for residential development;
b) the proposed development is contrary to Policy 5.8 of Planning Circular 6/91; and
c) the proposed development is contrary to the provisions of Planning Circular 1/88 (Revised) – Residential Development – Houses in the Countryside, which sets out a general presumption against new residential development in the countryside.

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

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 down load from the Department’s website www.gov.im/dlge/planning/plan

You should note that a copy of the Officer’s report which led to the decision being made, along with any correspondence relative to the application, is available for inspection at the Department.
