In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act and Order the Department of Local Government and the Environment does hereby REFUSE the following application made on behalf of:
Name: Proposal: at:
Braeside Developments Ltd Demolition of existing dwelling and erection of a detached dwelling Ballacallin Cottages Gordon Peel Isle Of Man IM5 3AR which was considered on 19th November 2009, for the reasons set out below. Date of Issue: 23rd November 2009 Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas
Mrs C Dudley Deputy Secretary to the Planning Committee
Reason(S) For Refusal:
- The design of the proposed dwelling, particularly the steep roof pitch, would fail to represent a traditional dwelling as envisaged by Planning Circular 3/91 and required by Housing Policy 14 of the Strategic Plan. Furthermore, the steepness of the roof combined with the inclusion of eaves level gable windows would result in the proposed dwelling having a visual impact much greater than the existing dwelling. Therefore the proposal would fail to accord with the objectives of policy aimed at ensuring that replacement dwellings relate closely to the buildings they replace in terms of visual impact so that the resulting impact is appropriate for the countryside.
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.
