# Refusal Decision Notice

## Town and Country Planning Act 1999

## Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005

Mr G A Corlett
Westfield
Grenaby Road
Dogmills
Ramsey
Isle of Man
IM7 4AN

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 A Corlett
**Proposal:** Removal of agricultural tie
at: Westfield
Grenaby Road
Dogmills
Ramsey
Isle of Man
IM7 4AN

which was considered on 24th July 2008, for the reasons set out below.

**Date of Issue:** 29th July 2008

Murray House
Mount Havelock
Douglas

Deputy Secretary to the Planning Committee

### Reason(S) For Refusal:

1. Insufficient evidence has been submitted to demonstrate that the property is no longer required for occupation by an agricultural worker in the island. Accordingly the removal of the agricultural workers condition is insufficiently justified.

**Note**
The Department’s established practice in these matters is to require that the dwelling should be offered for sale for a period of 6 months at a valuation which reflects the limitation on occupancy imposed by the current planning approval; there would usually be a reduction in the free market value of approximately 25 – 30%. The Applicant is recommended to market the property at this discounted rate for a period of 6 months. If after this period the house is still on the market then the applicant is recommended to submit a further application with the relevant evidence.

This decision was made by the Planning Committee constituted in accordance with Article 3(1) of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2005.
