# Refusal Notice 05/01489/B

## Town and Country Planning Acts, 1934 - 1991

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

Mr Chris Morris
Ballacrosha House
Station Road
Ballaugh
Isle Of Man
IM7 5EJ

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 Chris Morris
**Proposal:** Creation of a vehicular access
at: Ballacrosha House
Station Road
Ballaugh
Isle Of Man
IM7 5EJ

which was considered on 21 October 2005, for the reasons set out below.

**Date of Issue:** 27th October, 2005
**Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas**
**Secretary Planning Committee**

### Reasons For Refusal:

1. The creation of a vehicular access by reason of its siting would:

i) reduce the amount of amenity space for the property to an unacceptable level which will be detrimental to the enjoyment of the property for future occupiers; and

ii) will allow for a further vehicle to be parked in front of the property which will adversely affect the character and appearance of the property to the detriment of the visual amenities of the locality.

2. The creation of a vehicular access by reason of its proximity to the junction of the A10 and the A3, the available visibility and the available sight lines for any new vehicular access created would be limited and contrary to the interests of road safety. As such, it is considered that appropriate off street car parking provision could not be safely provided and that the application is unacceptable.

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.
