# Refusal Decision Notice

## Appendix 2

## Town and Country Planning Act 1999

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

Penketh - Millar
23 West Quay
Ramsey
Isle of Man
IM8 1DL
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 Carlo Tramontana
Proposal: Erection of a two storey extension to dwelling house at: Ramsdale
Grove Mount
Ramsey
Isle of Man
IM8 3HG
which was considered on 5th October 2009, for the reasons set out below.
Date of Issue: 5th October 2009
Murray House
Mount Havelock
Douglas

Deputy Secretary to the Planning Committee

### Reason(S) For Refusal:

1. The proposal, due to its scale, form and design, would appear incongruous and prominent within the streetscene to the detriment of the visual amenities of the area. The proposal is therefore considered to be contrary to General Policy 2 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007.
2. It is judged that due to the proximity of the proposed two storey extension with the boundary shared with Wencelling, there would be an overbearing impact upon Wencelling which would be detrimental to the amenity currently enjoyed by occupiers of that property. The proposed development would therefore be contrary to General Policy 2 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007.

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.
