# Planning Refusal Notice

## Town and Country Planning Act 1999

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

Lisa Patricia Dancox<br>16 Falkland Drive<br>Onchan<br>IM3 1EF

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:
Proposal:
at:

Lisa Patricia Dancox
Change of use from existing theatre/stage school to a pre-school day nursery
Former Chapel
Main Road
Onchan
Isle of Man
IM3 1AL
which was considered on 29th October 2009, for the reasons set out below.
Date of Issue: 3rd November 2009
Murray House
Mount Havelock
Douglas

Mrs P Faragher
Deputy Secretary to the Planning Committee

### Reason(S) For Refusal:

1. Due to the limited on-site car parking the proposal relies significantly on car parking within the surrounding area to provide car parking and parking for the dropping off and collection of children. Given the potential traffic generation from the proposed use it is concluded that this will cause unacceptable harm to highway safety and general amenity within the surrounding area. As such, the proposal is contrary to the provisions of General Policy 2 (g), (h) \& (i) 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.
