## Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005

Penketh - Millar
23 West Quay
Ramsey
Isle of Man
IM8 1DL

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 Nigel Heaton
**Proposal:** Alterations and erection of extensions to dwelling
at:
18 Bridge Street
Peel
Isle of Man
IM5 1NF

which was considered on 14th June 2011, for the reasons set out below.

**Date of Issue:** 14th June 2011

Murray House
Mount Havelock
Douglas

Mrs P Faragher
Deputy Secretary to the Planning Committee

### Reason(S) For Refusal:

1. By raising the height of the building to include a second floor, the development would have an unacceptable impact on the character and appearance of the street scene. The scale and proportions would not respect those of the neighbouring properties; it is considered that the proposed development would have a harmful impact on the appearance of the building, which would neither preserve or enhance the character of the Conservation Area which would be contrary to Environment Policy 35 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan (20th June 2007).

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.
