Back in January 2021 we were given an opportunity to try and get planning in principle to build a house on a small piece of land in JurbyRedacted text however the land is now separatedRedacted text and have been advised to try and have the land rezoned to residential due to the previous application we made stating that one of the main reasons it was refused was due to the land being zoned as agricultural land, as the size of the plot is approximately 0.04 of an acre it isn't really of any use to a farmer, below is another reason for refusal:
Reasons for refusal : 1. The proposal is not within a named settlement in accordance with the settlement hierarchy and would encourage unsustainable use. Accordingly it is contrary to Spatial Policy 3 & 5; Strategic Policy 2 and 10.
This is simply not the fact, the location is the actual village of Jurby it is a fairly large settlement and over the decades has seen new builds and old properties going to ruin, the church is in the location as was the post office and the methodist chapel, granted the area was radically changed due to the Government building the airfield in the second world war and then housing and then the industrial estate but the main village was always in the Now named Jurby West. The plot is actually surrounded by houses, it sits in the middle of three properties and on the opposite sideRedacted text are another five properties, on the Jurby coast road there are another five properties. The prison is located just Redacted textup the road.
We were also advised to use an example of a previous application in Sulby No. 15/00991/B
Erection of two detached dwellings with integral garages on field No. 131452
This was originally refused for similar reasons although the report is actually a lot more detailed that our one, this planning application was then accepted on appeal by the then Minister. The houses are now in situ, one is being lived in and the other is almost completed.
We will be applying for planning again in the future however on the next application we will as suggested by the planning officer apply to have a bungalow built.
