The proposal is contrary to the provisions of Strategic Policy 2, Spatial Policy 5, Environment Policy 1 and General Policy 3 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016 in that the proposed development lies outside of areas that are zoned for development in the recently adopted Area Plan for the South and as such is in fundamental conflict with the policies of the Strategic Plan which seeks to protect the countryside for its own sake and to direct development to sustainable locations. 2. Due to the re-positioning of the dwelling and the proposed parking area it is considered the proposal would adversely affect the visual amenities of the countryside contrary to Environment Policy 1 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016. 3. It is considered the re-positioning of the drainage layout as proposed would result in an unacceptable risk from flooding off-site to the neighbouring field contrary to Environment Policy 13 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016.
