# Planning Refusal Notice

## Town and Country Planning Act 1999

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

Miss K Magee
23 Derby Square
Douglas
IM1 3LS

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:** Miss K Magee
**Proposal:** Erection of sculpture
**at:** Willaston Primary School
School Road
Douglas
Isle Of Man
IM2 6RD

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

**Date of Issue:** 30th April 2008

Murray House
Mount Havelock
Douglas

**Deputy Secretary to the Planning Committee**

### Reason(S) For Refusal:

1. The proposed sculpture would be contrary to General Policy 2 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007 by reason of its size and siting and would introduce a prominent and incongruous structure which is out of scale with the surrounding buildings and will be detrimental to the visual amenities of the locality.

**Note:** The Planning Committee expressed concerns relating to Health and Safety issues that the proposed sculpture would introduce, specifically as a result of its height.

**Note:** Any future application should be accompanied by a written representation from the Department of Education.

**Note:** This refusal is without prejudice to a future planning application which proposes a sculpture of a scale which overcomes the reason for refusal, specifically the height of the proposed sculpture.

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.
