GCA Architects Carmodil Beg Studio Glen Road Ballaugh
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: Mr & Mrs Fenton Proposal: Erection of a detached garage block with tourist / guest accommodation above at: Rogers Cottage Ballacrye Road Ballaugh Isle of Man IM7 5BP
which was considered on 30th July 2007, for the reasons set out below.
Date of Issue: 31st July 2007
Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas
Deputy Secretary Planning Committee
Reasons For Refusal:
- The proposed new garage block with tourist/guest accommodation over would be within a site which is not zoned for development and the proposal is contrary to both established general planning policy and local plan policy. Approval of the planning application which is tantamount to the creation of a new residential dwelling would set an undesirable precedent for further such inappropriate development in the countryside.
This decision was made by the Director of Planning and Building control in accordance with the authority delegated to him under Article 3(13) of the Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005.
