# Planning Refusal Notice

## Town and Country Planning Act 1999

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

Mrs Pamela Bellhouse
Bluebell Cottage
Patrick Road
St Johns
Isle of Man
IM4 3BR

In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act and Order the PLANNING COMMITTEE of the Department of Local Government and the Environment does hereby **REFUSE** the following application made on behalf of:

**Name:** Mrs Pamela Bellhouse
**Proposal:** Alterations and installation of window to north elevation to detached garage
**at:** Bluebell Cottage
Patrick Road
St Johns
Isle of Man
IM4 3BR

which was considered on 30th April 2009, for the **reasons** set out below.

**Date of Issue:** 1st May 2009
**Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas**
*Signature: [Handwritten signature]*
**Deputy Secretary to the Planning Committee**

### Reason(S) For Refusal:

1. Whilst there is an extant planning approval for the erection of a garage on the site, this was proposed to have a maximum height of 4.3 metres. The garage as built, by virtue of its height of 5.65 metres and its design has a prominent appearance, not dissimilar to a small residential dwelling to the detriment of an area that is zoned as Open Space by the St Johns Local Plan (Planning Circular 6/99). *Handwritten signature*

This decision was made by the Planning Committee constituted in accordance with Article 3(1) of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2005.

- The time for requesting an appeal has expired; or
- Any appeal has been determined;

Whichever is the later.

A form and guidance notes are available from either the Planning Office, Tel 685950, or to download from the Department’s website www.gov.im/dlge/planning/plan/applications/decision.xml

A copy of the Officer’s report, which led to this decision, is attached for reference. This report, together with correspondence relative to the application, is available for inspection by anyone wishing to view it at the Department.
