## Town and Country Planning Act 1999

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

Damien James Design
4 Church Close
Lonan
IM4 7JY

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:** Mrs Pettener
**Proposal:** Replace existing window with french doors at rear flat roof level
at:
20 Church Road
Port Erin
Isle Of Man
IM9 6AQ

which was considered on 5th December 2007, for the reasons set out below.

**Date of Issue:** 6th December 2007

Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas

Deputy Secretary to the Planning Committee

### Reason(S) For Refusal:

1. The proposed double doors would allow the use of the flat roof area as amenity space which would result in overlooking of adjacent properties by users of the space. It would have an un-neighbourly and detrimental impact upon adjacent properties.

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.
