The issue of the decision notice has been triggered by the Section 13 agreement having been concluded. The 21 days for appeal (for those with Interested Person Status) runs from the date of the decision notice. This decision has been made for the following reasons(s) Overall, it is considered the proposal has a number of issues which need to be considered. The proposal would be developing a site (main development site) which is designated for "Mixed Use", where as the "land to the east of Royal Park" is designated as "Proposed Public Open Space" under the Ramsey Local Plan 1998. The "main development area" will clearly change the landscape character of the site/area from one of undeveloped agricultural fields to a residential development in the main, including neighbourhood centre and potential future school. However, as discussed within this report it is considered the visual harm caused by the development is not so significant to warrant a refusal. The development will appear as an extension of Ramsey which is within the "Town Boundary" as outlined by the existing Ramsey Local Plan. The proposal would equate to a sustainable development given its closeness and good pedestrian and cycle links to Ramsey Town Centre, with appropriate public transport links and would meet the overarching aims of the IOM Strategic Plan i.e. "Towards a Sustainable Island" and other Government strategies outlined in this report. There are no highway safety/parking concerns raised by the development and with appropriately worded conditions will result in improvements to the roadside frontages of the application site being improved and provisions of an upgraded bus stop and improvements to the existing pedestrian works. The proposed development will not result in an unacceptable risk from flooding on or off site. Finally, there are no significant impacts upon protect species on this site (namely birds/bats/Fungi, Schedule 7 and rare and scarce plant or Schedule 8 Plants), while there are significant levels of mitigation proposed/conditioned. It is considered that the proposal would contribute to the supply of housing (including 38 affordable houses) as a sustainable urban extension to a settlement identified near the top of the settlement hierarchy. The application includes a suitable level of Public Open Space throughout the development, including a variety of children plays areas/spaces for various age groups all within a walk able distance within the site for future occupants and also for existing residents in nearby housing developments.
