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:** Mrs M E Comish
**Proposal:** Approval in principle to erect a single dwelling
**at:** Garden Adjacent To Yn Druin

### Reasons For Refusal:

1. The application site is neither zoned for residential development nor does the proposed development represent an appropriate replacement dwelling nor is there appropriate agricultural need for the proposed dwelling. Accordingly, the residential development proposed by this planning application is contrary to the Isle of Man Planning Scheme (Development Plan) Order 1982 and, in particular, the provisions of Planning Circular 1/88.

2. Notwithstanding the first reason for refusal the application fails to demonstrate that appropriate vehicular access arrangements, including sightlines and visibility splays, for the application site can be suitably provided.

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.

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.
