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 & Mrs Sean Craig
**Proposal:**
- Erection of a replacement dwelling (comprising amendments to 09/00133/B)
**at:**
- Read Ellan Cottage

which was considered on 27th July 2009, for the reasons set out below.

**Date of Issue:** 28th July 2009

Deputy Secretary to the
Planning Committee

### Reason(S) For Refusal:

1. Whilst the principle of a replacement dwelling has been accepted, it is considered that the proposed increase in floor area would result in a dwelling which would detract from the character and appearance of the area by reason of its size and massing, and resultant increased visual impact. The proposal is therefore considered to be contrary to Housing Policy 14 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan.

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.
