TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING ACT 1999

The Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2019

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 Kat Ions, Ref 23/00454/B, for the Erection of stable block on existing concrete base, construction of Equestrian Manege and change of use of field at Field Adjacent Ocean View Baltic Road Kirk Michael Isle Of Man IM6 1EF for the following reason(s):

1. The Department is not satisfied that there is sufficient justification for the proposed building to warrant setting aside the presumption against development outside areas zoned for development. Furthermore, the proposed size and isolated position within the countryside is not considered appropriate and would harm the character and quality of the landscape. As such, the proposal is concluded to represent unwarranted development that is detrimental to the amenity of the countryside contrary to the provision of General Policy 3(g) and Environment Policies 1, and 21 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016.
