# Refusal Decision Notice

## Town and Country Planning Act 1999

## Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005

GCA Architects
Carmodil Beg Studio
Glen Road
Ballaugh

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 Fenton
Proposal: Erection of a detached garage block with tourist / guest accommodation above
at: Rogers Cottage
Ballacrye Road
Ballaugh
Isle of Man
IM7 5BP

which was considered on 30th July 2007, for the reasons set out below.

Date of Issue: 31st July 2007

Murray House
Mount Havelock
Douglas

Deputy Secretary Planning Committee

## Reasons For Refusal:

1. The proposed new garage block with tourist/guest accommodation over would be within a site which is not zoned for development and the proposal is contrary to both established general planning policy and local plan policy. Approval of the planning application which is tantamount to the creation of a new residential dwelling would set an undesirable precedent for further such inappropriate development in the countryside.

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 time for requesting an appeal has expired; or

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

A copy of the Officer’s report, which led to this decision, is attached for reference. This report, together with correspondence relative to the application, is available for inspection by anyone wishing to view it at the Department.
