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 Mr Michael Haxby, Ref 17/01217/B, for the Erection of stables at Field 534212 Scollag Road Abbeylands 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 stables, hereby approved, shall be for private use only and not for any commercial or private livery use.

Reason: Due to the location of the site in the open countryside and the nature of the access to the site the Department does not consider the site suitable for anything other than private use in accordance with General Policy 3, Environment Policy 19 and Environment Policy 21 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016.

• 3. The hardstanding, hereby approved, shall be only be laid out in accordance with the submitted drawings No.(03)003 Rev* - Block Plan and No.(03)301 RevA - Proposed Floor Plan & Elevations, in terms of depth, general layout and materials used. Thereafter, no other materials shall be used in its maintenance.

Reason: In order to mitigate the impact of the proposal on the open countryside in accordance with Environment Policy 19 and Environment Policy 21 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016.

• 4. The elevations and roof of the stables, hereby approved, shall be finished in the colour green, as indicated on drawing No. (03)301 RevA - Proposed Floor Plan & Elevations. The development shall thereafter be maintained in this colour unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Department.

Reason: In the interests of the character and appearance of the site and surrounding area in accordance with Environment Policy 19 and Environment Policy 21 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016.

• 5. In the event that the stable building, hereby approved, is not used for equestrian purposes for a period exceeding 6 months, the stable building and hard standing shall be removed and the ground restored to its former condition within 9 months of the stables last being used.

Reason: The building has been approved to meet the equestrian need of the applicant and its subsequent retention would result in an unwarranted intrusion in the countryside in accordance with General Policy 3, Environment Policy 19 and Environment Policy 21 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016.
