# Planning Refusal Notice

## Town and Country Planning Act 1999

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

Mr Graham M Gell
4 Cowley Terrace
Peel
Isle Of Man
IM5 1UA

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 Graham M Gell
**Proposal:** Erection of a single garage
**at:** Plot 2, Chapel Close
Station Road
Ballaugh
Isle Of Man
IM7 5EL

which was considered on 5th November 2009, for the reasons set out below.

**Date of Issue:** 6th November 2009

Murray House
Mount Havelock
Douglas

Mrs C Dudley
Deputy Secretary to the Planning Committee

### Reason(S) For Refusal:

1. The proposed garage due to its siting and scale would result in un-neighbourly development. The proposed development would be detrimental to the residential amenities for the future occupiers of the semi-detached bungalows through unacceptable levels of noise, disturbance and odour pollution which would be created via the vehicular access to the garage. Consequently the development would fail General Policy 2, Environment Policy 22 and Environment Policy 23 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007.

2. It is considered that the garage would be visually intrusive and result in overdevelopment of the plot which would be detrimental to the amenity of the area thus failing 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.
