Erection of dog kennels, creation of a pedestrian path and hard standing for car parking and alteration to existing agricultural access to form...

Refusal Reasons

• ✗The proposed building and hardstanding for car parking would be contrary to the 1982 Development Plan Order and EP27 of the emerging Isle of Man Strategic Plan by reason of their siting and design and orientation which would impact on the occupiers of Jemmy Dans from increased and general disturbance generated from the accommodation of dogs on site and the increase number of traffic movements to the application site.
• ✗The proposed kennels would be contrary to the 1982 Development Plan Order and Policies EP5, EP13, EP16 and EP27 of the emerging Isle of Man Strategic Plan in that: i) the proposed development is in close proximity to a watercourse and insufficient information has been submitted to demonstrate that the works will not cause any long term deterioration in water quality or provided any details on pollution and alleviation measures to protect the environment of the watercourse; and ii) the application site is prone to flooding and insufficient information has been submitted in the form of a flood risk assessment along with any details of proposed mitigation measure to prevent the nearby watercourse from being polluted by animal waste/effluent.
• ✗The proposed development would be contrary to the 1982 Development Plan Order and EP18 of the emerging Isle of Man Strategic Plan by reason of its height, design, massing, layout and siting would introduce a prominent and incongruous feature into the street scene and landscape, disrupting the rhythm of development and would cause demonstrable harm to the visual amenities of the locality.
• ✗The visibility from the proposed access driveway onto the A17 is inadequate to serve the needs of the development and therefore would be prejudicial to highway safety.
