APPENDIX 2

Town and Country Planning Acts, 1934 - 1991

Isle of Man Planning Scheme (Development Plan) Order 1982

Ranimons Limited Ballachrink Grove Mount Ramsey IM8 3HP

In pursuance of powers granted under the above Acts and Order the Department of Local Government and the Environment does hereby REFUSE the following application made on behalf of:

Name: Mr A D Radcliffe Proposal: Erection of replacement dwelling, driveway and vehicular access at: Harleys Killane Ballaugh Isle Of Man IM7 5BB

which was considered on 21 October 2005, for the reasons set out below.

Date of Issue: 31st October, 2005 Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas

Reasons For Refusal:

1. The proposed residential development would be contrary to Planning Circular 1/88, Housing Policy 14 and Environment Policy 3 of the emerging Isle of Man Strategic Plan in that

i) by reason of the siting, design, size and massing of the proposed development it would increase significantly the level of built development on the site to the extent the resultant development would have a detrimental effect on the character and appearance of the area which has High Landscape and Coastal Value and Scenic Significance; and

ii) the proposed curtilage would amount to being a significant encroachment of a residential curtilage into the open countryside which will further diminish the openness, character and quality of the surrounding area

which would cause demonstrable harm to visual amenities of the locality.

1. The proposed entrances do not provide adequate visibility for vehicles leaving the site and therefore would be prejudicial to highway safety.

NOTE The applicant is encouraged to enter in discussions with a planning officer concerning an alternative design for a replacement dwelling.

NOTE This review has been considered by the Planning Committee on written evidence. Any additional submissions not previously circulated to interested parties are enclosed herewith.
