Environment Policy 7
Source: Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016
Environment Policy 7: Development which would cause demonstrable harm to a watercourse, wetland, pond or dub, and which could not be overcome by mitigation measures will not be permitted. Where development is proposed which would affect a watercourse, planning applications must comply with the following criteria:
- all watercourses in the vicinity of the site must be identified on plans accompanying a planning application and include an adequate risk assessment to demonstrate that works will not cause long term deterioration in water quality;
- details of pollution and alleviation measures must be submitted;
- all engineering works proposed must be phased in an appropriate manner in order to avoid a reduction in water quality in any adjacent watercourse; and
- development will not normally be allowed within 8 metres of any watercourse in order to protect the aquatic and bankside habitats and species.
