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:** Ms Karen Duggua
**Proposal:** Erection of a detached garage and store with study / office above, creation of a vehicular access and drive and extension of domestic curtilage
**at:**

which was considered on 18th October 2011, for the reasons set out below. **Date of Issue:** 19th October 2011 Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas

Mrs C Dudley
Deputy Secretary to the Planning Committee

## Reason(S) For Refusal:

1. The extension to the residential curtilage of the dwelling would be contrary to General Policy 3, Environment Policy 1 and Environmental Policy 2 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007, as it would result in an unwarranted domestic intrusion into the countryside beyond the existing residential curtilage, to the detriment of the character and appearance of the countryside.

2. The proposed garage and store/office, due to its design, size and siting, would be tantamount to the erection of a dwelling in the countryside contrary to the aims of the Strategic Plan; would be visually intrusive and detrimental to the appearance of the area; and would represent unwarranted development within the countryside contrary to General Policy 3, Environment Policy 1 and Environment Policy 2 of the Strategic Plan 2007.

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