Decision Notice

Jacqueline Verduyn 5 Ballacubbon Ballabeg Castletown Isle Of Man IM9 4HR

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 APPROVE an application by Captain Simon & Mrs Lynn Pressly, Ref 15/00668/B, for the Erection of a replacement dwelling at Ashwood Ballamenagh Road Baldrine Isle Of Man IM4 6AL subject to compliance with the following condition(s) and notes (if any) :

• 1. The development hereby approved shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this decision notice.

Reason: To comply with article 14 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No2) Order 2013 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.

• 2. Within 2 months of the occupation of the replacement dwelling, the existing dwelling must be demolished. Thereafter the land on which the existing dwelling previously stood shall be landscaped to form part of the garden of the overall development.

Reason: The application has been approved as an exception to the general principle that development shall not take place in the countryside. It would not be appropriate for both the existing and proposed dwellings to remain on the site.

• 3. Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (Permitted Development) Order 2012 (or any Order revoking and/or re-enacting that Order with or without modification) no extension, enlargement or other alteration of the dwellings hereby approved, other than that expressly authorised by this approval, shall be carried out, without the prior written approval of the Department. Reason: To control development in the interests of the amenities of the surrounding area.
• 4. Prior to the commencement of development on the site, an Energy Statement shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Department. The Statement shall include but not be limited to energy efficiency, insulation and technologies that will be installed within the application site in order to offset the environmental impact of the new dwelling. Before the dwelling is occupied, the approved measures shall be implemented and brought into operation in accordance with the approved scheme and thereafter retained.

• Reason: In the interest of ensuring an energy-efficient dwelling relative to the requirements of Housing Policy 14.
• 5. Details of the windows, to include specific reference to the consideration of nonreflective glass in the south-facing elevation, shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Department prior to the commencement of works. The windows shall be installed in accordance with the approved details and shall thereafter be retained as such.

Reason: The dwelling hereby approved may be prominent within the landscape and there is concern that the south-facing elevations may, in part, be reflective and draw attention to the glazing rather than the form of the dwelling approved. Therefore, consideration must be given to reducing this potential impact.

The development hereby approved relates to the following plans, date-stamped as having been received 15th June 2015 and 14th August 2015: the site and location plans (scales 1:500 and 1:2500 respectively); PL 001/00 Rev.1; PL 002/01; PL 003/00; PL 004/00, PS 005 and the Measured Survey.

Date of Issue: 7th October 2015

Director of Planning and Building Control
