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 Nicholas Leonard Allison
**Proposal:** Approval in principle for the erection of a dwelling
**at:** Part Field 224030 East Of Lough Dhoo Farm
Loughdhoo Road
The Curragh
Ballaugh

which was considered on 18 November 2005, for the **reasons** set out below.

**Date of Issue:** 24th November, 2005
**Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas**

*(Signature)*

### Reasons For Refusal:

1. The development of this site would be contrary to the adopted land use designation of the site and the Department’s general presumption against development in the Island’s countryside - as set out in Planning Circular 1/88. Approval of development of this site would establish an unfortunate precedent for further unwarranted and uncontrolled development in the countryside.

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.
