# Refusal Decision Notice

## Town and Country Planning Act 1999

## Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005

GCA Architects
Carmodil Beg Studio
Glen Road
Ballaugh

In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act and Order the Department of Infrastructure does hereby REFUSE the following application made on behalf of:

**Name:** Mr Leslie & Mrs Margo Martin
**Proposal:** Erection of a single storey building to provide tourist accommodation (Retrospective)

**at:**
Outbuilding
West Craig Farm
St Judes Road
West Craig
Ramsey
Isle Of Man

which was considered on 26th January 2011, for the reasons set out below. **Date of Issue:** 28th January 2011 Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas

## Reason(S) For Refusal:

1. The application site is not zoned for development. Therefore the proposal is contrary to both adopted general planning policy within the Isle of Man Strategic Plan and The Isle of Man Development Plan, which seek to restrict such development within the countryside. Approval of the planning application which is tantamount to the creation of a new residential dwelling would set an undesirable precedent for further such inappropriate development in the countryside. Accordingly it is recommended that the application be refused.

This decision was made by the Senior Planning Officer in accordance with the authority delegated to her under Article 3(13) of the Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005.

## Guidance Note

The decision contained in this notice does not become final until either;

- $\quad$ 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 download from the Department's website www.gov.im/transport/planning/plan/applications/decision.xml

A copy of the Officer's report, which led to this decision, is attached for reference. This report, together with correspondence relative to the application, is available for inspection by anyone wishing to view it at the Department.
