In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act, and subordinate Orders and Regulations, the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture determined to REFUSE an application by Mr & Mrs Simon & Larna Colquitt, Ref 25/80819/B, for the Erection of fence to residential curtilage (retrospective) at 4 Hillcrest Grove Onchan Isle Of Man IM3 3HY for the following reason(s):
- By reason of the fence's height and position within the streetscene, the development is considered to be out of keeping within the locality and represents a discordant and incongruous feature within the streetscene and immediate surrounding area. As such, the fencing fails to accord with the provisions of General Policy 2 (b) and (c) of the Strategic Plan (2016).
