Dear Miss Corlett,
THE TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING ACT 1999 The Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2019
The Planning Inspector appointed by the Council of Ministers has now considered the application and submitted his report in accordance with statute.
The Inspector considers that the application would have no harmful impact upon the appearance of the classroom building or on the character of the surrounding farm complex or on the wider landscape of the Area of High Landscape Value.
The Inspector also considers that the development would bring material benefits of additional shelter and natural light to users of the building and that, overall, the proposal complies with all the relevant polices of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan, as set out by the Planning Authority.
The Inspector concludes that the application should be approved.
On 5th November 2020, the Council of Ministers considered the recommendations of the Planning Inspector and determined to approve the application subject to the condition listed below.
Applicant:
