Town and Country Planning Act 1999
Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005
Ballamoar Farm Ltd Ballamoar Lane Ballaugh Isle of Man
In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act and Order the PLANNING COMMITTEE of the Department of Local Government and the Environment does hereby REFUSE the following application made on behalf of:
Name: Ballamoar Farm Ltd Proposal: Siting of portacabins and additional use as a camp site at: Field 221335 Ballamoar Farm Glen Road Ballaugh Isle of Man
which was considered on 30th October 2008, for the reasons set out below.
Date of Issue: 31st October 2008
Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas
Deputy Secretary to the Planning Committee
Reason(S) For Refusal:
- The siting of portacabins within the site represents an inappropriate development within an area of High Landscape Value and Scenic Significance which is having a detrimental effect on the openness of the countryside contrary to Environmental Policy 1 and 2. Furthermore, the introduction of motorhomes into the site would act to increase the impact of the proposed development, and consequently, would add to the adverse effect of the existing development upon the surrounding area.
- The alterations to the existing access required to satisfy the standards of the Department of Transport Highways Division would detrimentally affect the site and surrounding area.
Note: On the decision notice becoming final, this matter shall be referred to the Planning Enforcement Officer.
