# Refusal Notice 10/01815/B

## Town and Country Planning Act 1999

## Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005

Port St Mary Commissioners
Town Hall
Port St Mary
IM9 5DA

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

**Name:** Port St Mary Commissioners
**Proposal:** Erection of 25 sheds (Re advertised due to additional information received)
**at:** Sand Field (formerly Field 1540)
Mount Gawne Road
Port St. Mary
Isle Of Man

which was considered on 10th March 2011, for the reasons set out below.

**Date of Issue:** 15th March 2011

Murray House
Mount Havelock
Douglas

## Reason(S) For Refusal:

1. The previous application for a greater number of sheds and greenhouses was refused on appeal for reasons relating to the adverse visual impact of the proposed structures and it was suggested that a smaller number of communal sheds and greenhouses was the appropriate way forward. Whilst the number of sheds has been reduced, and there are no longer any greenhouses proposed, the number and location of the sheds does not relate to attempting to reduce the visual impact and if the application were approved, there would be little to resist further sheds, leading to the situation of the previous application which was refused. Many of the proposed sheds are still on the highest part of the site and visible from Mount Gawne Road which is the closest public vantage point into the site. As such the proposal is considered to have an adverse visual impact and does not overcome the previous reason for refusal in relation to PA 10/0468.

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.
