Isle of Man Secretary Planning Committee Note 1: The decision contained in this notice does not become final until:- - the time for requesting a review of the initial decision has expired; or - any review of the initial decision has been completed; or - the time for requesting an appeal in relation to any decision at review has expired; or - any appeal has been completed. Note 2: Rights of review against the decision are attached. ## Reasons For Refusal Application Ref No: 03/01949/B 1. The hard surfacing of what would be all of the frontage to Larch Hill Grove would have an adverse impact on what is presently a well maintained and attractive garden which marks the start of this cul de sac and would establish an unfortunate precedent which could lead to the loss of all of the green space within this part of the estate. It is accepted that other properties have had significant parts of their front garden hard surfaced in order to provide access and increased off street parking provision, but with the exception of Number 9 where the hard surface is necessary to gain access to the parking and garage facilities, at least some part of the front garden area has been retained in the other cases. 2. This decision was made by the Planning Committee constituted in accordance with Paragraph 2 of Schedule 1 of the Isle of Man Planning Scheme (Development Plan) Order 1982. --- *Data sourced from the Isle of Man public planning register under the [Isle of Man Open Government Licence](https://www.gov.im/about-this-site/open-government-licence/).* *Canonical page: https://planningportal.im/a/74785-braddan-1-larch/documents/1403057*
