Name: B Poulsen

## Reasons For Refusal:

1. By reason of its form, design and extent the proposed extension is out of keeping with the character of the existing dwelling and the character of the dwellings within the surrounding area. As such the proposal represents an over intensive form of development that adversely affects the public amenity of the area, contrary to the provisions of policy O/RES/P/21 of Planning Circular 1/2000.

2. By reason of its form, extent and mass the proposed extension will have an overbearing impact on a number of the surrounding properties that will adversely affect their residential amenity to an unacceptable level. As such the proposal is contrary to the provisions of policy O/RES/P/21 of Planning Circular 1/2000.

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 download from the Department’s website www.gov.im/dlge/planning/plan
