General Policy 3
Source: Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016
General Policy 3: Development will not be permitted outside of those areas which are zoned for development on the appropriate Area Plan with the exception of:
- essential housing for agricultural workers who have to live close to their place of work; (Housing Policies 7, 8, 9 and 10);
- conversion of redundant rural buildings which are of architectural, historic, or social value and interest; (Housing Policy 11);
- previously developed land (1) which contains a significant amount of building; where the continued use is redundant; where redevelopment would reduce the impact of the current situation on the landscape or the wider environment; and where the development proposed would result in improvements to the landscape or wider environment;
- the replacement of existing rural dwellings; (Housing Policies 12, 13 and 14);
- location-dependent development in connection with the working of minerals or the provision of necessary services;
- building and engineering operations which are essential for the conduct of agriculture or forestry;
- development recognised to be of overriding national need in land use planning terms and for which there is no reasonable and acceptable alternative; and
- buildings or works required for interpretation of the countryside, its wildlife or heritage.
6.4.1 Where development is acceptable and in accordance with the provisions of this Plan and the relevant Area Plan, but raises issues which cannot be addressed by the imposition of planning conditions, the Department will seek to conclude an Agreement with the developer under Section 13 of the 1999 Town and Country Planning Act.
