# Planning Refusal Notice

## Town and Country Planning Act 1999

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

Mr Stuart Blackley
Fo-Glion
Glen Rushen Road
Glen Maye
Isle Of Man
IM5 3BA
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: Mr Stuart Blackley
Proposal: Erection of a detached garage with ancillary living accommodation above
at: Fo-Glion
Glen Rushen Road
Glen Maye
Isle Of Man
IM5 3BA
which was considered on 14th August 2009, for the reasons set out below.
Date of Issue: 17th August 2009
Murray House
Mount Havelock
Douglas

Deputy Secretary to the Planning Committee

### Reason(S) For Refusal:

1. The proposed detached garage with first floor living accommodation above would, by reason of its size, siting and design create the impression that an additional dwelling has been constructed in this rural location recognised as being of High Landscape Value and Scenic Significance, contrary to established policies which seek to protect the character of the countryside for its own sake.
2. Notwithstanding the policy objection to the principle of the proposed development, the design of the garage with accommodation above is considered to be inappropriate to the rural location and as such would appear visually incongruous within the surrounding landscape.
