# Refusal Notice 07/00694/R

## Town and Country Planning Act 1999

## Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005

Port Erin Bowling Club
Mrs D M Benson (Hon Sec)
22 Sunnydale Avenue
Port Erin

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:** Port Erin Bowling Club
**Proposal:** Retention of new floodlighting
**at:** Port Erin Bowling Club Breagle Glen
Saint Marys Road
Port Erin
Isle Of Man

which was considered on 14th March 2008, for the reasons set out below.

**Date of Issue:** 17th March 2008

**Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas**

## Reason(S) For Refusal:

1. The new lighting creates an unreasonable amount of light pollution for those properties adjoining the south eastern boundary of the site, thus adversely affecting the amenities of those living within these properties.

2. The appearance of a taller light immediately alongside the rear of number 28, Sunnydale Avenue and its retention throughout the year, creates an unneighbourly and dominant feature which adversely affects the residential amenities of this property.

This decision was made by the Senior Planning Officer in accordance with the authority delegated to her under Article 3(13) of the Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005.
