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:** Mrs Janet Thompson
**Proposal:** Erection of fencing and three stone pillars to existing front wall
at: Cass Struan
Beach Road

### Reason(S) For Refusal:

1. By reason of its height and siting the proposed boundary fencing and pillars would introduce an incongruous feature in the street scene that would be detrimental to the visual amenities of the locality. As such, the proposal fails to accord with the provisions of General Policy 2 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007

This decision was made by a Senior Planning Officer in accordance with the authority delegated to them under Article 3(13) of the Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005.
