Planning Circular 1/88 Residential Housing in the Country
Circular states land allocated for residential development as extensions to towns/villages; remaining areas to remain substantially free from development. Manx countryside fragile; policy to discourage residential development except agricultural holdings. Site not zoned, no agricultural need shown; proposal would encroach and set precedent.
General Policy 3
Development not permitted outside zoned areas except specific exceptions (infill in identifiable groups, agricultural housing, conversions, replacements etc.); none apply here. Proposal in countryside lacks exception justifying release from zoning.
Environment Policy 1
Countryside protected for its own sake; development adversely affecting it not permitted without overriding national need. New dwelling would harm countryside character.
Environment Policy 2
Development control uses landscape classification; adverse effect on character/appearance in designated High Landscape/Coastal Value areas not permitted. Site designated; dwelling would detract from rural character.
Planning Circular 2/92
Paragraph 13 allows additional dwellings in settlements identified for study if not extending boundary, serviceable, non-prejudicial to plans. Site not in qualifying settlement; scatter of dwellings to south not a group justifying infill.
