Decision Notice

Mr Allen John & Mrs Marilyn Lloyd Arragon House Santon IM4 1HH

TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING ACT 1999 The Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure)(No 2) Order 2013

In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act and Order the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture determined to REFUSE an application by Mr Allen John & Mrs Marilyn Lloyd, Ref 17/01205/B, for the Erection of a building to provide two staff residential units and office accommodation with associated landscaping and parking at Land At Arragon House Santon Isle Of Man for the following reason(s):

• 1. The site is not designated for development and there would appear to be no policy or material reasons to set aside General Policy 3, Environment Policies 1 and 2, Housing Policy 4, the Strategic Aim and Strategic Policies 1,2, 9 and 10 and Transport Policy 1 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan.
• 2. The introduction of a building of the size proposed and its associated activity would adversely affect the character of the area through which a footpath passes, contrary to the principles of Environment Policy 1 and 2 of the Strategic Plan 2016.
• 3. The proposal would result in unsustainable development, increasing the number and distance of vehicle movements. These movements would be along a narrow and winding access road, which is also a public footpath and would have an adverse impact on highway safety and the desirability of the public footpath, contrary to Transport Policies 1 and 4 of the Strategic Plan 2016.

Date of Issue: 4th September 2018

Director of Planning and Building Control
