IM5 2AF
In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act and Order the Department of Local Government and the Environment does hereby REFUSE the following application made on behalf of:

Name:
Proposal:
at:

Mr D K Robbins
Change of use of strip of land from agricultural to residential use Field 314194

which was considered on 19th September 2008, for the reasons set out below.

Deputy Secretary to the
Planning Committee

### Reason(S) For Refusal:

1. The proposed change of use of the proposal site to become part of the existing garden would be detrimental to the character and appearance of this area of the Manx countryside which is recognised as being of High Landscape Value by the Strategic Plan. As such the proposal would fail to accord with Environmental Policies 1 and 2 of the Plan as the proposal would not protect the countryside nor does it represent essential development.

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.
