# Refusal Decision Notice 07/01278/A

## Town and Country Planning Act 1999

### Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005

AEW Architects
Mr J Whatmore

Manchester
M3 2DF

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

**Name:** Mount Murray Country Club Ltd
**Proposal:** Approval in principle for erection of a dwelling
**at:**
Plot At
Fairways Drive
Mount Murray
Douglas
Isle Of Man

which was considered on 12th October 2007, for the reasons set out below.

**Date of Issue:** 17th October 2007

**Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas**

### Reasons For Refusal:

1. The proposal would be contrary to the land use designation contained within the adopted Local Plan (Braddan Parish District Local Plan Planning Circular 6/91) and furthermore, without evidence to the contrary, it is considered that the proposal would adversely impact on the vitality and viability of the golf course use and the associated hotel, a use that accords with the current zoning of the site.

2. The development proposed would set an undesirable precedent for further residential development in this area, contrary to the adopted land use zoning.

3. There is currently insufficient capacity within the Sewage Treatment Plant at Mount Murray to serve an additional dwelling.
