Reasons For Refusal

Application Ref No: 03/01205/B

1. Whilst the Planning Committee does not object in principle to the conversion of the barns to tourist use, the scale of the proposed tourist use and level of traffic that would be generated by such development would result in an increase in vehicles entering into and exiting from the farm lane. Due to the limited visibility onto the main road and the narrowness of the farm lane, the access is considered to be unsuitable to serve the proposed development, and would be dangerously unsafe.
2. This decision was made by the Planning Committee constituted in accordance with Paragraph 2 of Schedule 1 of the Isle of Man Planning Scheme (Development Plan) Order 1982.
