# Planning Refusal Notice

## Town and Country Planning Act 1999

### Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005

**Cornerstone Architects**

79 Parliament Street
Ramsey
Isle Of Man
IM8 1AQ

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 Kenneth Chesterson
**Proposal:** Erection of a replacement dwelling
**at:** Balleigh Cottage
Jurby Road
Lezayre
Ramsey
Isle Of Man
IM7 2EA

which was considered on 7th November 2011, for the reasons set out below.

**Date of Issue:** 9th November 2011

Murray House
Mount Havelock
Douglas

Mrs C Dudley
Deputy Secretary to the
Planning Committee

### Reason(S) For Refusal:

1. The proposal fails to accord with the provisions of Housing Policy 14 insofar as the proposed dwelling is more than double the size of the existing property with a resultant greater visual impact and there are therefore no provisions within the Strategic Plan to support the proposal which would result in a significantly larger dwelling with a greater visual impact and where the new dwelling would be larger and more imposing that the typical Manx cottage described in Planning Circular 3/91.

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.
