1. The proposed development represents unwarranted development that is contrary to the land use designation of the application site as open space (agricultural) under the Isle of Man Planning Scheme (Braddan Parish District Local Plan) Order 1991 - Plan No. 3 and the presumption against the development of such areas set out within Planning Circular 6/91 and the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007. Specifically, the proposal is contrary to policies 5.4, 5.8 and 13.4 of Planning Circular 6/91 and General Policy 3, Environment Policy 1 and Housing Policy 4 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007.
2. Notwithstanding the first reason for refusal the planning application does not provide sufficient information regarding the means of foul sewage disposal from the site.

This decision was made by the Senior Planning Officer in accordance with the authority delegated to her under Article 3(13) of the Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005.
