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

**Name:** Kennaugh & Skinner Ltd
**Proposal:** Erection of a retail unit with accommodation above (comprising amendments to 08/01266/REM)
**at:** Ballabeg Stores Site

Murray House
Mount Havelock
Douglas

Deputy Secretary to the
Planning Committee

### Reason(S) For Refusal:

1. The introduction of stonework on only the lower half of the front elevation will result in an in appropriate finish to the property which has been designed as a traditional building. The proposed canopy is similarly out of keeping with the traditional character of the property and with the older buildings in the immediate vicinity which are generally stone faced and flat fronted. The omission of the stonework on the rear external fire escape will detract from the attractiveness of the building as originally designed and approved.

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