General Policy 8
Source: Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016
General Policy 8: Within rural areas the display of external advertisements will be permitted only where:
- they are located on or directly next to the premises to which they relate;
- they do not detract from the appearance of either the immediate area or the landscape;
- they are normally constructed of traditional materials unless the nature of the display or location would render such materials inappropriate;
- any illumination, which will be permitted only where it is essential, is kept to a minimum and is so hooded as to prevent undesirable escape of light;
- they are located so as not to cause a highway safety hazard; and
- any illumination will not have an adverse effect on areas of ecological value.
6.7.1 Our environment is improved by the provision of works of art in public places, particularly if that art reflects the cultural traditions or history of a particular area.
6.7.2 The Department will support the inclusion of such artwork in development proposals, and will expect such inclusion within major proposals. Artwork may take the form of public sculpture, such as the recently erected statues of T. E. Brown and Sir William Hillary in Douglas, or may be incorporated into features such as friezes, railings or landscaping. Commissions to locally based artists would be particularly welcome.
