# Refusal Decision Notice

## Town and Country Planning Act 1999

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

Bettridge Motors
The Eairy
East Foxdale
Isle Of Man

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:** Bettridge Motors
**Proposal:** Vehicle storage in yard
**at:** Brookfield House
Main Road
Foxdale
Isle Of Man
IM4 3EB

which was considered on 20th June 2008, for the reasons set out below.

**Date of Issue:** 23rd June 2008

Murray House
Mount Havelock
Douglas

Deputy Secretary to the Planning Committee

### Reason(S) For Refusal:

1. The proposed use of the site for the storage of vehicles in an area identified as Open Space by the Foxdale Local Plan would be contrary to the land zoning of the site and would be detrimental to the amenities of the surrounding area.

2. It is considered that the number of vehicles using site would have an adverse impact upon the highway safety of the surrounding area. The existing narrow and steep track which serves the site combined with vehicles parked legally on the main road would result in access arrangements that would be inadequate to serve the proposed use of the site.

3. The increase in activity generated in the movement of vehicles would result in an unacceptable level of noise and disturbance to neighbouring dwellings

**Note**
Within 28 days of the decision notice becoming final, all extraneous vehicles must be removed from the site and only vehicles associated with the residential use of Brookfield House shall be parked on-site.

## Guidance Note

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.

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
