TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING ACT 1999 The Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure)(No 2) Order 2013

In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act and Order the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture determined to APPROVE an application by Derek & Jane Cain, Ref 17/01186/B, for the Installation of 3 additional tourist accommodation huts on campsite at Field 411363 Glendown Farm Truggan Road Port St. Mary Isle Of Man subject to compliance with the following condition(s) and notes (if any) :

• 1. The development hereby approved shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this decision notice.

Reason: To comply with article 14 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No2) Order 2013 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.

• 2. The units hereby approved may not be used between the end of October and the first week in April, or Easter, whichever is the earlier. Reason: To ensure that the campsite is used only to provide tourist visitor accommodation.
• 3. No other glamping units or camping pods may be erected on the remainder of the site, which may only be used for motorhome parking and tented camping as shown in the proposed site plan received on 15th November, 2017. Reason: To control the use of the site.
• 4. Within one month of the erection of the structures hereby approved, the external metalwork of the proposed huts must be coloured dark green and shall be retained as such thereafter. Reason: To minimise the visual impact of the proposed structures.
• 5. No development shall take place until full details of soft landscaping works have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Department and these works shall be carried out as approved. Details of the soft landscaping works include details of new planting showing, type, size and position of each. All planting, seeding or turfing comprised in the approved details of landscaping must be carried out in the first planting and seeding seasons following the completion of the development or the occupation of the tourist huts, whichever is the sooner. Any trees or plants which within a period of five years from the

completion of the development die or become seriously damaged or diseased must be replaced in the next planting season with others of a similar size and species. All planting, seeding or turfing comprised in the approved details of landscaping must be carried out in the first planting and seeding seasons following the completion of the development or the occupation of the hereby approved tourist huts, whichever is the sooner.

Reason: To ensure the provision of an appropriate landscape setting to the development.

• 6. The tourist huts hereby approved shall be removed and the ground restored to its former condition within 6 months in the event that they are no longer used or required for tourist purposes.

Reason: The development has been exceptionally approved solely to meet tourist need and its subsequent retention would result in an unwarranted intrusion in the countryside.

This approval relates to the location plan and the proposed plan and elevations received on 6th November, 2017 and the site plan received on 15th November, 2017.
