# Refusal Decision Notice

## Town and Country Planning Act 1999

## Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005

Mr & Mrs Morris
Ardwhallin House
West Baldwin
Braddan
IM4 5EU

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

**Name:** Mr & Mrs Morris
**Proposal:** Erection of a dwelling to replace existing cottage at: Ballachrink Croft, Ballacorey Road, Bride, Isle Of Man, IM7 4AW

which was considered on 21 July 2006, for the reasons set out below.

**Date of Issue:** 28 July, 2006

**Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas**
*Secretary Planning Committee*

## Reasons For Refusal:

1. The proposed dwelling would represent a significant increase in size and volume compared to the existing dwelling contrary to the provisions of Planning Circulars 3/91 and 1/88 leading to a large and intrusive form of development within the countryside.

2. The access as shown on drawing number 06/05/01 does not address the issue of sightlines on the highway which is contrary to the interest of highway safety.

3. No details have been submitted on how the visibility splay for the access would impact on an existing landscaping strip running along the front boundary of the application site with the public highway of Ballacorey Road, which could lead to the potential loss of trees and hedge cover to the detriment of the visual amenities of the locality.

This decision was made by the Director of Planning and Building control in accordance with the authority delegated to him under Article 3(13) of the Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005

The decision contained in this notice does not become final until either;
- The time for requesting an appeal has expired; or
- Any appeal has been determined;

Whichever is the later.

Any appeal against this decision must be in writing and must be received by this Department within 21 days of the date of this notice.

A form and guidance notes are available from either the Planning Office, Tel 685950, or to down load from the Department’s website www.gov.im/dlge/planning/plan

You should note that a copy of the Officer’s report which led to the decision being made, along with any correspondence relative to the application, is available for inspection at the Department.
