Planning Refusal Notice
Town and Country Planning Act 1999
Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005
David Norman Almorah Fistard Road Fistard Port St. Mary Isle of Man IM9 5HF
In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act and Order the PLANNING COMMITTEE of the Department of Infrastructure does hereby REFUSE the following application made on behalf of:
Name: Bohemian Cafe Style Restaurant Proposal: Conversion of existing retail shop to a takeaway and installation of extraction unit to rear elevation at: 1 Station Road Port Erin Isle of Man IM9 6AE
which was considered on 1st October 2012, for the reasons set out below.
Date of Issue: 2nd October 2012
Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas
Mrs P Faragher Deputy Secretary to the Planning Committee
Reason(S) For Refusal:
- The use of the premises as a hot food takeaway within close proximity to the residential properties (Milner Towers) would result in a detrimental impact upon residential amenities due to an increase in the number of people using the facility and by-passing residential properties in the area, thus increasing the disturbance, noise and nuisance caused to local residents during anti-social hours. Furthermore, the proposed use would also likely result in smells emanating from the premises, again to the detriment of nearby residential amenities, particularly within the apartment block Milner Tower. The proposal is therefore contrary to General Policy 2 and Environment Policy 22 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan.
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.
