The proposed erection of a dwelling, in the open countryside is not considered acceptable in principle. The proposal would unacceptably harm the characteristics of the existing site, the character and quality of the landscape within the Area of High Landscape or Coastal Value and Scenic Significance and the rural character of the surrounding countryside. The proposal therefore conflicts with Strategic Policy 2, General Policy 3, Environment Policy 1, Environment Policy 2 and Housing Policy 4 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016. 2. The applicant has not demonstrated that the access that would serve the development would be capable of accommodating the vehicle and pedestrian journeys generated by that development in a safe and appropriate manner. The proposal therefore conflicts with Transport Policy 4 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016. 3. The applicant has not provided sufficient ecological information to adequately determine that the proposed development would not result in an adverse and/or significantly harmful impact to protected species or their habitats, which are either directly using the site and/or the existing watercourse, or in the surrounding area. The proposal therefore conflicts with Environment Policy 4 and Environment Policy 7 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016. Date of Issue: 30th May 2019 Director of Planning and Building Control
