Due to the material and colour of the proposed building it would be unduly prominent and visually intrusive in the countryside contrary to the provisions of Strategic Policy 2 and Environment Policy 1, which seek to protect the Manx countryside for its own sake. 2. The evolution of the site has resulted in a poor quality environment for the existing leisure and entertainment uses and the proposal would exacerbate this resulting in increased poor public realm, legibility and character throughout the site contrary to the aims of Strategic Policy 5. 3. Insufficient justification has been made to support the increase in scale of the proposal for such a wide range of uses in an area not allocated for development contrary to the provisions of Strategic Policy 2 and General Policy 3.
