Port Erin Bowling Club Mrs D M Benson (Hon Sec) 22 Sunnydale Avenue Port Erin
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: Port Erin Bowling Club Proposal: Retention of new floodlighting at: Port Erin Bowling Club Breagle Glen Saint Marys Road Port Erin Isle Of Man
which was considered on 14th March 2008, for the reasons set out below.
Date of Issue: 17th March 2008
Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas
Reason(S) For Refusal:
- The new lighting creates an unreasonable amount of light pollution for those properties adjoining the south eastern boundary of the site, thus adversely affecting the amenities of those living within these properties.
- The appearance of a taller light immediately alongside the rear of number 28, Sunnydale Avenue and its retention throughout the year, creates an unneighbourly and dominant feature which adversely affects the residential amenities of this property.
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.
