REASONS FOR REFUSAL
Application Ref No: 04/01469/A
- The Planning Committee is not persuaded that what is defined on the application
as the holding relating to this proposal justifies the erection of a further dwelling on land which is not designated for development. In addition, the siting of the dwelling is some distance from the existing farm dwelling and as such would not comply with the guidance given in Planning Circular 3/88 - new agricultural dwellings and would represent an unwarranted intrusion into the countryside.
Note: the Planning Committee would have expected the application to have been accompanied by full justification for a new dwelling including stocking levels, the nature of the farm operations, the role which would be played by those who would occupy the new dwelling together with information about present staffing levels in relation to the farm and where those persons presently reside.
- 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.
