# Refusal Decision Notice

## Town and Country Planning Act 1999

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

Penketh - Millar
23 West Quay
Ramsey
Isle Of Man
IM8 1DL
In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act and Order the Department of Infrastructure does hereby REFUSE the following application made on behalf of:

Name: Mr \& Mrs Brian Quirk
Proposal: Erection of two additional detached holiday let chalets at: $\quad$ Laxey Harbour Chalets
The Cairns
Breeze Hill
Laxey
Isle Of Man
IM4 7DL
which was considered on 14th October 2010, for the reasons set out below.
Date of Issue: 18th October 2010
Murray House
Mount Havelock
Douglas

### Reason(S) For Refusal:

1. The submitted planning application is deemed to be unacceptable by reason that it:
a) fails to provide sufficient detail to allow a full and proper assessment of the proposed works to the bank to the rear of the application site; and
b) fails to provide a flood risk assessment in accordance with the provisions of Environment Policy 10 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007. As the application site, and the site of the proposed built development, is reasonably concluded to have potential flood risk due to its location and existing flood risk information the proposal is contrary to the provisions of Environment Policy 13 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007.
2. Notwithstanding the first reason for refusal the proposed development is concluded to be unacceptable by reason that it:
a) proposes built development on the eastern extent of the Lower Cairn site contrary to the provisions of Policy L/TRT/PR/8 of the Laxey and Lonan Area Plan Order 2005 that seeks to protect the site from development that is detrimental to the amenity of the area, particularly given the prominent position the site occupies; and

b) proposes built development that affects the open character of the eastern part of the application site and thereby fails to preserve or enhance the character of the Conservation Area, contrary to the provisions of Policy L/CRB/PR/4 of the Laxey and Lonan Area Plan 2005 and Environment Policy 35 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007.

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