Arbory and East Rushen Local Plan 1999 Policy ENC/P/2
Policy protects existing open space from development except in designated areas or residential zones. The agricultural field is zoned Open Space with high landscape value; concrete pad would urbanise the site and preclude grazing, failing the policy test for appropriateness in undeveloped countryside.
No objection subject to livestock disturbance concerns; later supported at review, noting helicopter can operate without pad, visually unobtrusive, better secured on pad to avoid pollution risk
No adverse traffic impacts; no views
Within controlled airspace; requires arrangements with Airport Authority
