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:** Mr G E Gelling
**Proposal:** Retention of a garage and extension to residential curtilage at:

which was considered on 26th October 2007, for the reasons set out below. **Date of Issue:** 31st October 2007 Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas

## Reasons For Refusal:

1. The development and change of use proposed by the planning application is deemed unacceptable by reason that:

As such the proposal is contrary to the provisions of policy L/RES/PR/1 of the Laxey and Lonan Area Plan Order 2005 and General Policy 3, Environment Policy 1 and Environment Policy 2 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007; and
b) the proposed extension of the residential curtilage represents an unwarranted domestic intrusion into the open countryside beyond the existing residential curtilage of Cummal Beg. As such the proposal is contrary to policy L/OSNC/PR/1 of the Laxey and Lonan Area Plan Order 2005 and General Policy 3 and Environment Policy 1 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007.
