The officer emphasized that despite the site being part of the residential curtilage of Sheeoil with residential use, this does not create a presumption in favour of further development outside design…
Environment Policy 1
Presumption against development in areas designated as Woodland on the 1982 Development Plan. Site lies in such an area west of Ramsey boundary. No exceptions under GP3 apply as proposal not essential agricultural housing, redundant building conversion, previously developed land, replacement dwelling, or other listed categories.
General Policy 3
Sets exceptions to ENV1 prohibition on development outside zoned areas. Officer assessed proposal against list (agricultural housing HP7-10, HP11 conversions, brownfield redevelopment, rural replacements HP12-14, minerals/services, agriculture/forestry, national need, countryside interpretation) and found none applicable to new dwelling in curtilage.
Strategic Aim
Requires sustainable development locations. Site's countryside location outside zones conflicts as reiterated in recent Strategic Plan.
Strategic Policy 2 - Priority for new development to identified towns and villages
Sustainable development patterns. Proposal in undesignated area fails test for appropriate location.
Spatial Policy 5
Development confined to designated areas. Site not zoned, so policy breached.
Housing Policy 4
Housing in suitable locations. Undesignated countryside site unsuitable.
