Decision Notice
Amanda Jane Kermode 60 Meadow Crescent Saddlestone Douglas IM2 1QX
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 REFUSE an application by Amanda Jane Kermode, Ref 18/00338/C, for the Use of agricultural building as dog day care and training facility (retrospective) at The Barn Strenaby Farm Abbeylands Isle Of Man for the following reason(s):
- The application site is located within the open countryside, not zoned for development and proposed change of use does not fall within any of the exceptions contained within General Policy 3; in turn it also does not meet the requirements of Environmental Policy 16 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016. The intensification of use within the site as a result of the proposal will also have an unacceptable impact on the local highway. The principle for the proposed change of use is therefore considered not to be acceptable.
Date of Issue: 5th September 2018
Director of Planning and Building Control
