Tel 01624 685950 Mr Martyn Hobson Architectural Studio 7 Olafs Close Douglas IM2 7AR 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 Mr David Salkeld, Ref 24/91047/B, for the Change of use of part of field to equestrian & erection of private stables at Field 514332 Knock Froy Road Santon Isle Of Man for the following reason(s): 1. The Department is not satisfied that there is sufficient justification for the proposed building to warrant setting aside the presumption against development outside areas zoned for development. Furthermore, the proposed size, materials and siting will be seen in an isolated position within the countryside, it is not considered appropriate and would harm the character and quality of the landscape. As such, the proposal is concluded to represent unwarranted development that is detrimental to the amenity of the countryside contrary to the provision of General Policy 3(g) and Environment Policies 1, and 21 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016. 2. The application site is not zoned for development and is within an area of countryside designated as an Area of High Landscape Value and Scenic Significance. The creation of a new stable in an area not zoned for development would result in an inappropriate development in the countryside contrary to Environment Policy 2 and the presumption against equestrian development in such land use designations, as noted in Environment Policy 2.
