The officer noted the existing structures have a 'considerably detrimental impact on the appearance of the area and the broogh fort'.
General Policy 3
GP3 permits development outside zoned areas on previously developed land with redundant buildings where redevelopment reduces landscape impact and improves the wider environment (para c). The officer assessed the site as fitting this exactly, with the earth-sheltered design and green roof providing 'considerable visual improvement' over the existing 'detrimental' structures.
Time limit
The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.
Approved drawings
This permission relates to the creation of a golf maintenance facility as shown and described in drawings 8100/PL/100B, -101, -110A, -111A, 200A, -201 and -202 all received on 9th October, 2008.
Protect ecology and archaeology
Prior to the commencement of any works on site, including demolition and excavation, the site and area for working must be adequately fenced off so that the area of eelgrass, areas of saltmarsh vegetation and the rock outcrop which supports lesser mottled grasshoppers is not incorporated in the working area and is, together with the adjacent Hango Broogh archaeological site, protected from damage during excavation, demolition and construction works by the storage of materials, moving of vehicles, water run-off. The applicant should consult DAFF's Wildlife and Conservation Division and Manx National Heritage in this respect prior to any fencing being erected.
