Tel 01624 685950 TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING ACT 1999 The Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2019 In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act, and subordinate Orders and Regulations, the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture determined to REFUSE an application by Ms Kate Garner, Ref 25/90787/B, for the Erection of detached garden building to provide ancillary (Class 3.3) and tourist (Class 3.6) accommodation at The Anchorage Mill Road Peel Isle Of Man IM5 1TA for the following reason(s): 1. The proposal conflicts with Strategic Policy 8 and Section 9.5 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan, which require tourism development to deliver high-quality, sustainable accommodation that integrates with existing built fabric and enhances the visitor experience. These policies emphasize character-led design and the use of heritage or established structures to support enjoyment of the Island's natural and man-made attractions. The scheme also fails to align with the Visitor Economy Strategy 2022-2032, which sets out the Visitor Accommodation Transformation Programme to secure investment in distinctive, contemporary, and eco-friendly accommodation that attracts new visitor markets, supports off- peak demand, and strengthens the Island's competitive position. By contrast, the proposed unit represents a functional addition of limited scale and quality, lacking the distinctive features, sustainability credentials, and market appeal envisaged by national policy. Accordingly, the strategic benefit is minimal and does not outweigh the identified policy conflicts. 2. The proposed development introduces an elevated sleep deck window that creates a material risk of overlooking into the adjoining property, resulting in an unacceptable loss of privacy. This is contrary to General Policy 2(d) and Business Policy 13 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016, which require that development does not compromise the amenities of neighbouring residents and that tourist use is only permitted where it safeguards residential amenity.
