Policy EP18 (Isle of Man Strategic Plan Modified Draft)
Requires new countryside buildings including agricultural ones to be sited close to existing groups and appropriate in scale, materials, colour and siting to be sympathetic to landscape.

Environment Policy 19
Prohibits buildings constituting skyline development or obstructing exceptional views from highways. Proposal avoids this by not being visible from highway due to screening and, from distance, banking/green roofing prevents skyline effect; alternative sites would risk skyline issues.
Time limit
The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.
