In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act, Order and Regulations the PLANNING COMMITTEE of the Department of Local Government and the Environment does hereby REFUSE the following application made on behalf of:

**Name:** Mr J McCracken
**Proposal:** Registered Building consent for the conversion of existing residential dwelling into three self contained apartments (In association with 08/00007/GB) Registered Building Nos. 151.
**at:** 2 Albion Terrace
Ramsey
Isle Of Man
IM8 2LW

which was considered on 14 August 2008, for the reasons set out below.

**Date of Issue:** 19th August 2008

**Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas**
Secretary to the Planning Committee

### Reasons For Refusal:

1. Flats 1 and 3 are unacceptable by reason that a) they fail to provide a pleasant clear outlook from the principal rooms; and b) the level of natural light enjoyed is unduly limited. As such the proposal represents an inappropriate form of development that would provide an unacceptable living environment for future occupiers. Accordingly, the proposed development fails to satisfactorily accord with the provisions of Housing Policy 17 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007.

2. The proposals are not justified and neither do the proposals protect or enhance the character of the Registered Building as required by Policy RB/5 Alterations and Extensions to a Registered Building as set out in Planning Policy Statement 1/01.

This decision was made by the Planning Committee constituted in accordance with Article 3(1) of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2005.

## Guidance Note

This decision notice is issued in accordance with Regulation 9(1) of the Registered Building Regulations 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/applications/decision.xml

If this determination is running concurrently with a planning application the content of the registered building application is excluded from that consideration. If need be, an appeal against the determination of registered building consent must be made independently.
