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:** Mr & Mrs J M Cashin
**Proposal:** Erection of a two storey extension
**at:** Garey Veg

**Date of Issue:** 21st January 2009

**Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas**

**Deputy Secretary to the Planning Committee**

### Reason(S) For Refusal:

1. The proposed extension would, by virtue of its height and scale, have an unacceptable impact upon the existing property as viewed within the streetsceene. As such, the proposal would fail to preserve or enhance the character of the Kirk Michael Conservation Area, contrary to Environmental Policy 35 and General Policy 2, part (b).

2. The proposed extension would result in an unacceptable level of overlooking to, and would have an overbearing impact upon, the neighbouring property "The Creggans". Furthermore, the proposed extension would have overbearing impact upon the neighbouring property "Sea Crest". As such the proposed development would be contrary to the provisions of General Policy 2, part (g).

This decision was made by the Acting Senior Planning Officer in accordance with the authority delegated to him under Article 3(13) of the Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005.

The decision contained in this notice does not become final until either;
- The time for requesting an appeal has expired; or
- Any appeal has been determined;

Whichever is the later.

Any appeal against this decision must be in writing and must be received by this Department within 21 days of the date of this notice.

A form and guidance notes are available from either the Planning Office, Tel 685950, or to download from the Department’s website www.gov.im/dlge/planning/plan/applications/decision.xml

A copy of the Officer’s report, which led to this decision, is attached for reference. This report, together with correspondence relative to the application, is available for inspection by anyone wishing to view it at the Department.
