The Department is not satisfied that there is sufficient justification for the proposed building to warrant setting aside the presumption against development outside of areas zoned for development. Furthermore, the proposed size and isolated position within the countryside 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 provisions of General Policy 3, part (f) and Environmental Policy 1 & 15 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007.
