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:

Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas (Signature)
Secretary Planning Committee (Signature)
Reasons For Refusal:
- Insufficient details have been submitted to demonstrate that the site can be redeveloped for residential use without impacting on adjacent properties and providing a safe means of access into and out of the application site.
- Due to the current and historic use of the site, it is considered that the site may be contaminated and it is therefore premature to consider whether the site can be redeveloped without first assessing a land contamination/remediation report.
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;
- The time for requesting an appeal has expired; or
- Any appeal has been determined;
Whichever is the later.
Any appeal against this decision must be in writing and must be received by this Department within 21 days of the date of this notice.
A form and guidance notes are available from either the Planning Office, Tel 685950, or to download from the Department’s website www.gov.im/dlge/planning/plan
A copy of the Officer’s report, which led to this decision, is attached for reference. This report, together with correspondence relative to the application, is available for inspection by anyone wishing to view it at the Department.
