## Reasons For Refusal

Application Ref No: 04/01.177/B

1. The creation of two dwellings from what is presently a single dwelling, together with an extension of the existing fabric, would increase the amount of traffic coming to and leaving the site, using an access which is not considered safe due to limited visibility for drivers of emerging vehicles.

2. The increase in size of what is already a substantial building alongside the roadway is not considered acceptable due to the resultant increased visual impact.

3. 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.
