# Planning Refusal Notice

## Town and Country Planning Act 1999

## Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005

Douglas Corporation
Borough Engineer And Surveyors Department
Town Hall
Ridgeway Street
Douglas

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:** Douglas Corporation
**Proposal:** Creation of car park, paving of roads and paths, formation of new pedestrian entrance, rebuilding of stone entrance piers and erection of metalwork arch
**at:** Nobles Park
Douglas
Isle Of Man
IM2 4BD

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

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

**Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas**

**Deputy Secretary to the Planning Committee**

## Reason(S) For Refusal:

1. The proposed car park would be contrary to the Douglas Local Plan 1998 in that insufficient justification has been submitted to support the introduction of a car park into an area of Public Open Space.

2. The proposed car park will be a degree of permanence as a car park within an area of Public Open Space. This would impact on the overall setting of the open space and will impact on the visual amenities of the locality.

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.
