# Review Refusal Decision Notice

## Town and Country Planning Acts, 1934 - 1991

### Isle of Man Planning Scheme (Development Plan) Order 1982

J P Cowin
Plot 12
12 All Saints Park
Church Road
Laxey

In pursuance of powers granted under the above Acts and Order the Department of Local Government and the Environment does hereby **REFUSE** the following application made on behalf of:

**Name:** J P Cowin
**Proposal:** Retrospective application for the erection of patio area / decking in rear garden,
**at:**
Plot 12
12 All Saints Park
Church Road
Lonan

which was considered on 10 December 2004, for the reasons set out below.

**Date of Issue:** 13th December, 2004

Murray House
Mount Havelock
Douglas

### Reasons For Refusal:

1. The verandah/decking extends the level area immediately behind number 12 All Saints Park and extends significantly the opportunity for the overlooking of the properties immediately behind. Furthermore, the decking presents a dominant and unneighbourly feature in the area which significantly reduces the enjoyment of the properties immediately to the south east.

NOTE As this decking has already been erected without planning permission, the decking must be removed within 4 weeks of the date of this decision as it becomes final.

NOTE This review has been considered by the Planning Committee on written evidence. Any additional submissions not previously circulated to interested parties are enclosed herewith.

---

Note 1: The decision contained in this notice does not become final until:-
- 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 appeal against the decision of the planning committee are attached.

Note 3: An appeal may be requested within a period of 21 days.
