In pursuance of his powers under the above Acts and Order the MINISTER for Local Government and the Environment, following report by the appointed person, does hereby REFUSE the application by Manx Telecom Ltd – 03/01853/B – Erection of 12m telegraph pole with antenna and dish, and location of equipment cabin, Part Field 334218, Approx 200m to rear of Driftwood, Dalby, Peel.
The proposed development would have some harmful impact on the character of the attractive countryside, and the grant of planning approval would be premature pending wider examination of the need for coverage that could lead to the identification of more acceptable sites.
