# Refusal Decision Notice

## Town and Country Planning Act 1999

## Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005

John Potts
Ballahowin
Orrisdale
Kirk Michael
Isle Of Man
IM6 2HP

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: John Potts
Proposal: Approval in principle for conversion of existing stables to ancillary living accommodation
at: Ballahowin
Orrisdale
Kirk Michael
Isle Of Man
IM6 2HP

which was considered on 24th July 2012, for the reasons set out below. Date of Issue: 25th July 2012 Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas

## Reason(S) For Refusal:

1. The property is not of architectural, social or historical interest and as such could not comply with the provisions of Housing Policy 11. As such, there is no provision within the Strategic Plan for the creation of a dwelling through the conversion of the dwelling to a self-contained unit, albeit intended as ancillary accommodation to the main dwelling, and the proposal would be contrary to General Policy 3.

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.
