Mrs P Faragher
Deputy Secretary to the Planning Committee
Reason(S) For Refusal:
- The proposed use would be likely to severely undermine the amenities of the residents of the above and surrounding residential premises by reason of noise and general disturbance through the comings and goings of customers in such close proximity to habitable room windows. Consequently the development would be contrary to General Policy 2 and Environment Policy 22 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan, 2007.
- The proposed change of use would be contrary to Environment Policy 35 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007 as it would not preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and would have a detrimental impact on the visual amenities of the locality.
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.
