• 1. The development hereby approved shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this decision notice.

Reason: To comply with article 14 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No2) Order 2013 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.

• 2. The agricultural building, hereby approved, shall only be used for agricultural purposes and shall be removed and the ground restored to its former condition in the event that it is no longer used or required for agricultural purposes.

• 3. The agricultural building, hereby approved, shall not be brought into use until details of the arrangements for surface water drainage and the storage and disposal of animal waste and sewage have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Department. The storage and disposal of animal waste and sewage shall not be carried out unless in strict accordance with the approved details. There shall be no discharge at any time of any foul drainage or foul surface water from the livestock area (directly or indirectly) from the proposed development, into the adjacent marshland and fields to the west of the site.

Reason: In order to prevent the pollution of the local environment and to protect the health and safety of people in accordance with Environment Policy 1, Environmental Policy 4, Environment Policy 5, Environmental Policy 7 and Environment Policy 8 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016.

• 4. The ridge height of the agricultural building, hereby approved, shall be no higher than 7.28m above the existing floor level as shown on drawing No. (03) 001 - 'Site Location Plan' & drawing No. (03) 100 - 'Proposed Plan and Elevations'.

Reason: In the interest of protecting the character of the site and surrounding countryside in accordance with General Policy 3, Environment Policy 1 and Environment Policy 15 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016.
