Prior Refusal Notice 10/01491/B
Town and Country Planning Act 1999
Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005
Miss P Newton 2 Glen View South Cape Laxey Isle Of Man
In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act and Order the Department of Infrastructure does hereby REFUSE the following application made on behalf of:
Name: Mr Eric Carey Proposal: Erection of a field shelter, extension of hardcore track (both retrospective), erection of a barn and creation of a hardcore yard area at: Field Number 134889 Lezayre Road Glen Tramman Ramsey Isle Of Man
which was considered on 26th April 2011, for the reasons set out below.
Date of Issue: 6th May 2011
Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas
Mrs C Dudley Deputy Secretary to the Planning Committee
Reason(S) For Refusal:
- It is considered that the justification for agricultural buildings, hardcore yard surface and track, as proposed on this site, has not been adequately proven. Furthermore the isolated position would result in built development encroaching into the open countryside to the detriment of the visual amities of the countryside. Consequently the proposal would be contrary to General Policy 3 and Environmental Policy 1, 2 & 15 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan which all seek to protect the countryside from inappropriate development.
- The formation of the track from the existing entrance results in an incongruous feature in the countryside within an Area of High Landscape or Coastal Value and Scenic Significance. Accordingly, given the development harms the character and quality of the landscape and is not essential, the creation of the track is contrary to General Policy 3 and Environmental Policy 1 and 2 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan.
This decision was made by the Senior Planning Officer in accordance with the authority delegated to her under Article 3(13) of the Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005.
