# Refusal Decision Notice

## Town and Country Planning Acts, 1934 - 1991

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

BRW Architectural
Bridge Court
10 Bridge Street
Castletown
IM9 1AX

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:** Mr A Silsby
**Proposal:** Approval in principle for the erection of a replacement dwelling with detached garage
at:
Silver Beech
Glen Road
Colby
Isle Of Man
IM9 4HW

which was considered on 16 September 2005, for the **reasons** set out below.

**Date of Issue:** 28 September, 2005
**Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas**
*Signature: [Handwritten signature]*
*Secretary Planning Committee*

### Reasons For Refusal:

1. The proposed dwelling would be detrimental to the area and those who live in adjoining properties by virtue of:

a) the tree loss which would result from the building of a property with a footprint larger than that of the existing property and
b) the design of a dwelling with so many of its windows facing the private garden areas of number 4, Ballachrink and "Glenarm".

**Note 1:** Whilst the application is in principle only, the plans submitted show quite specifically how a new dwelling could be accommodated on the site and in the

absence of any further drawings, the Planning Committee cannot be satisfied that their concerns are possible of resolution.

Note 2: The Planning Committee would recommend that consideration be given to the utilisation of the existing footprint rather than expanding the extent of built development and therefore coming closer to and endangering the existing trees which are a significant element in the immediate environment.

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.

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.
