The main issue was the effect on the character and appearance of the rural area within an Area of High Landscape or Coastal Value and Scenic Significance (AHLVSS).
Environment Policy 2
Protects Areas of High Landscape or Coastal Value and Scenic Significance (AHLVSS); development acceptable if it does not harm landscape character/quality or location is essential. Officer assessed the replacement shed's visibility from Dreemskerry Road (150m away), noting it is set down behind house/garage, larger but similar to existing, thus no additional harm.
Environment Policy 36
Permits development outside but close to Conservation Area boundaries only if no detrimental effect on important views in/out. Site 450m from Maughold Conservation Area; officer found low visibility and no harm to views from proposal, same reasons as for ENV2.
Environment Policy 15
Makes provision for development required for agriculture. Mentioned as relevant but not substantively assessed as proposal treated under replacement terms.
General Policy 3
Makes provision for agricultural development. Referenced alongside ENV15 but not detailed in assessment.
Time limit
The development hereby approved shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this decision notice. Reason: To comply with article 14 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No2) Order 2013 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
Materials approval
The windows and doors shall be oak colour upvc or similar. Reason: In the interests of the character and appearance of the site and surrounding area and to match the existing garage.
