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 Darren Jamieson, Ref 20/00177/B, for the Temporary placement of a static home for duration of barn conversion works at Ellenbrook Farm Old Castletown Road Douglas Isle Of Man IM4 1AJ subject to compliance with the following condition(s) and notes (if any) :

The occupation of the temporary accommodation hereby approved is limited to those associated with the implementation of the conversion works approved under 16/01150/B and the accommodation may remain occupied only until 1st January 2023 or on completion of the conversion works, whichever is the sooner.

Reason: the site is not designated for development and what is being approved is a residential unit on the site which, if retained on completion and occupation of the converted barn, would amount to a second dwelling on the site, contrary to the Strategic Plan.

• 2. No development shall commence until details of the proposed static caravan (size and appearance) to be in situ has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Department. The development shall not be carried out unless in accordance with the approved details. Reason: In the interests of the character and appearance of the site and surrounding area.
• 3. If the use of the static home hereby approved ceases for period exceeding 6 months, the building and any supporting base shall be removed and the ground restored to its former condition within 3 months of the date of the cessation, unless a time is otherwise approved in writing by the Department.

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

This decision relates to the following plans and drawings, date stamped received on 14th February 2020:

• o Site Plan as Proposed
• o Additional Information

This decision also relates to the pad under the static home received on the 25th April 2020 describing how the pad under the static home will be.
