## Reason(S) For Refusal:

1. The continued use of the site would be contrary to General Policy 2 and Transport Policy 4 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007 in that the use would be lead to an increase in on-street parking and traffic in an area which is already very congested in the evenings and would be prejudicial to the general amenity of the area and the free flow of traffic within the area.

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.
