# Refusal Decision Notice 08/00183/A

## Town and Country Planning Act 1999

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

Mr J C \& Mrs E A Potts
Cotswold
Ballafurt Road
Port Erin
IM9 6HP

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:
Proposal:
at:

Mr J C \& Mrs E A Potts
Approval in principle to erect a dwelling
Land To Rear Of
Cotswold
Ballafurt Road
Port Erin
Isle Of Man
which was considered on 11th April 2008, for the reasons set out below.
Date of Issue: 16th April 2008
Murray House
Mount Havelock
Douglas

### Reason(S) For Refusal:

1. Whilst the property lies within an area which is designated for residential use on the Port Erin Local Plan, the access to the site is via a narrow lane which cannot presently accommodate two way traffic and with visibility to those emerging from the site which is well below a standard which is satisfactory or safe.

Note
In the absence of plans which would illustrate how the development could be laid out, the site would appear too small to satisfactorily accommodate a dwelling together with the required parking and turning and the right of way available to some properties on Dandy Hill, and where such development would not be detrimental to the outlook and privacy of

those in adjacent properties and/or where those in the proposed dwelling would not have satisfactory privacy or amenity space.

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.
