In pursuance of powers granted under the above Acts and Order the Department of Local Government and the Environment does hereby REFUSE the application made by you

**Proposal:**

at:

Secretary Planning Committee

Note 1: The decision contained in this notice does not become final until:-
- the time for requesting an appeal in relation to any decision at review has expired; or
- any appeal has been completed.

Note 2: Rights of appeal against the decision of the planning committee are attached.

Note 3: An appeal may be requested within a period of 21 days.

## Reasons For Refusal

**Application Ref No:** 03/01165/B On Review

1. The development precludes pedestrian access to the rear of Numbers 5-10 Close Rushen, Farrants Park. It is considered that this loss of access which would necessitate the removal of waste and refuse from the rear through the dwellings would be detrimental to the residential amenity of occupiers of those dwellings.

**NOTE:** Within one month of the date of this decision the walls must be removed and the lane reinstated.

**NOTE:** This review has been considered by the Planning Committee on written evidence. Any additional submissions not previously circulated to interested parties are enclosed herewith.
