Policy 13.3 (Braddan Parish District Local Plan)
Policy requires maintenance and management of important tree groups and woodland in high landscape value rural areas of Braddan Parish, including underplanting. Officer assessed tree impacts via submitted survey showing canopy distances and valid felling licence for two sycamores; no unacceptable loss or damage to woodland, satisfying policy.
Environment Policy 2
Within Areas of High Landscape or Coastal Value, protection of landscape character is paramount unless development does not harm character/quality or location is essential. Officer found smaller scale garage part-set into slope adjacent to barn would not harm landscape character, unlike larger refused precedents.
Environment Policy 3
Prohibits development causing unacceptable loss/damage to woodland with public amenity/conservation value. One tree removal demonstrated via valid DAFF licence; no encroachment into retained tree canopies, no unacceptable impact.
Time limit
The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.
