REASONS FOR REFUSAL

Application Ref No: 04/01447/B

1. The upward extension of the existing rear outlet would introduce a two storey element beyond what is currently established to the rear of this terrace of properties. As such the additional height and massing would result in a much darker and more oppressive environment in the rear yard of Number 21, Falkland Drive.

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.
