Environment Policy 1
EP1 requires development to respect the countryside character. The officer assessed the proposal as complying in the main, as no physical works are needed and it preserves the setting without adverse impacts.
Environment Policy 16
EP16 governs rural business uses. The proposal does not fully comply but meets the policy aims overall, with no harm to amenities or countryside, justified by the ancillary nature and restrictive conditions.
Time limit
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 26 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2019 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
Use limited to dog grooming
For the avoidance of doubt planning approval is only approved for the use of the building for dog grooming purposes only. Reason: Planning approval has been approved solely on the basis of the building being used for dog grooming purposes only and the application has been considered on this basis only. Without this condition the building could be used for all uses listed within Class 1.1 which would not be acceptable.
Operations by farm residents only
The dog grooming operations may only be exercised by those resident in Ellan Farm as outlined in blue on the submitted plans. Reason: to control the amount of traffic generated by the proposed use.
Both Highways Division and Jurby Parish Commissioners raised no objections to the change of use of the tack room to a dog grooming business.
