Tel 01624 685950 Mrs Sharon Maternaghan 4 Hillside Avenue Douglas IM1 4NQ TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING ACT 1999 The Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2019 In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act, and subordinate Orders and Regulations, the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture determined to REFUSE an application by Mrs Sharon Maternaghan, Ref 22/01158/B, for the Erection of a stable block within Field 324071 with hardstanding, creation of a new access Field 321618 and Change of Use of Field 324071 from agricultural to Equestrian use at Field 324071 & 321618 Garth Road Crosby Isle Of Man IM4 2HB for the following reason(s): 1. The department is not satisfied that there is sufficient justification for the proposed building to warrant setting aside the presumption against development outside areas zoned for development. Furthermore, the proposed size and isolated position within the countryside is not considered appropriate and would harm the character and quality of the landscape. As such, the proposal is concluded to represent unwarranted development that is detrimental to the amenity of the countryside contrary to the provisions of General Policy 3 and Environment Policies 1 and 21 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016. 2. The proposed stables, earthworks, access track and parking area, all within an isolated and open position within the countryside, and within close proximity to the highway where it would be particularly prominent would have a detrimental impact upon the character and appearance of the countryside contrary to Environmental Policy 21 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan. Date of Issue: 1st February 2023 Director of Planning and Building Control
