Planning Refusal Notice

Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005
Steven Morley 18a-19a Village Walk Onchan Isle Of Man IM3 4EB
In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act and Order the PLANNING COMMITTEE of the Department of Local Government and the Environment does hereby REFUSE the following application made on behalf of:
Name: Ms M Kerruish Proposal: Approval in principle for the erection of two detached dwellings and associated parking to at:
- Land To Rear At
- Maughold Lodge
- Claughbane Walk
- Ramsey
- Isle Of Man
- IM8 2JP
which was considered on 22 June 2006, for the reasons set out below.
Date of Issue: 4 July, 2006 Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas Secretary Planning Committee (Signature: Murray House)
Reasons For Refusal:
- The proposal, by reason of its siting and design:
(a) would result in the introduction of unsympathetic and incongruous features within the locality when view from Claughbane Walk in that would be out of keeping with the general established character of the area contrary to Policy R/R/P3 of Planning Circular 2/99; (b) would result in the creation of a poor relationship between the proposed dwellings which would result in overlooking and overshadowing and thereby result in the creation of a poor residential environment for the future occupiers of the dwellings to the detriment of their living conditions; and (c) the proposed dwelling nearer to Maughold Lodge would be so close, and at such a level that it would not provide an acceptable level of amenity for the occupants, in that it would be overlooked and overshadowed thereby.
- The proposed development would generate more traffic compared to a single dwellinghouse and would intensify the use of the existing access onto the public highway. The visibility from the proposed access driveway onto the public highway is inadequate to serve the increased traffic movements from the site and therefore would be prejudicial to highway safety.
Furthermore, the width of Claughbane Walk would not permit safe access/egress by vehicles, and is inadequate to serve the needs of this development resulting in increased congestion and nuisance to the detriment of the free flow of traffic and road safety.
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.
The decision contained in this notice does not become final until either;
