Why was this refused?

lack of current agricultural activity
insufficient justification per DAFF advice
presumption against countryside development
marginal viability not supporting full-time living
no firm leases or business pre-commencement
scale of substantial shed disproportionate to hobby-scale enterprise

The proposal was for a steel agricultural implement shed on part of field 622432 (formerly 2432), accessible via a lane off Dhoon Loop Road in Maughold, sited behind woodland screening with minimal visual impact.

Refusal Reasons

✗Based on the level and content of information contained within the planning application the Planning Committee is not persuaded that there is sufficient agricultural need to justify the setting aside of the presumption against new build development in the countryside. (Initial refusal 02/12/2005 and review refusal 06/03/2006 under Isle of Man Planning Scheme (Development Plan) Order 1982)
