Environment Policy 5
Source: Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016
Environment Policy 5: In exceptional circumstances where development is allowed which could adversely affect a site recognised under Environmental Policy 4, conditions will be imposed and/or Planning Agreements sought to:
- minimise disturbance;
- conserve and manage its ecological interest as far as possible; and
- where damage is unavoidable, provide new or replacement habitats so that the loss to the total ecological resource is mitigated.
7.8.7 In addition to existing, specific areas of the Island designated as being important areas for landscape value, nature conservation and ecological habitats, there are also wider areas which are increasingly being recognised as having combined importance in terms of ecological, archaeological, landscape and / or scientific value. These areas should be fully investigated to assess the extent of these qualities and, where appropriate, their potential for a new designation in the form of 'National Heritage Areas'. This should be in addition to any other designation afforded to them under existing legislation or any new landscape assessment exercise.
