Decision Notice

Kay Associates Southgate House 89 Circular Road Douglas IM1 1AX

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 Anthony & Mrs Marian Charnley, Ref 17/01312/B, for the Erection of a replacement dwelling with associated access and parking at Skeddan Veg Fort Island Road Derbyhaven Isle Of Man IM9 1TZ for the following reason(s):

• 1. The replacement dwelling is not considered to respect the site or the surroundings by reason of its mass, mono pitch roof and material finish. The proposal would result in an incongruous and unsympathetic feature in the streetscene and would create visual harm to the general coastal character of Derbyhaven. The proposal therefore fails to accord with parts (b) and (c) of General Policy 2 and Landscape Proposal 26 of the IOM Strategic Plan 2016.
• 2. The proposal will include large areas of glazing and will introduce first floor windows where there is none at present. This new range of overlooking and adverse impacts on privacy is further exacerbated by the fact that the site levels are to be increased and the distances between the proposal and the neighbours is to decrease. As such the proposal fails to comply with part (g) of General Policy 2 of the IOM Strategic Plan 2016.

Date of Issue: 27th March 2018

Director of Planning and Building Control
