Kay Associates Chartered Architects Ltd South Gate House 89 Circular Road Douglas Isle Of Man IM1 1AX

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 Ballavartyn Development Ltd, Ref 19/00255/C, for the Additional use as campsite during a period of one week before the TT to one week after the Manx Grand Prix and the Southern 100. at Ballavartyn Equestrian Centre Ballavartyn Road Santon Isle Of Man IM4 1HT subject to compliance with the following condition(s) and notes (if any):

• 1. This approval relates to the use of the area edged red and shown for camping pitches, for the purposes of a maximum of 34 tents. Reason: to reflect the details of the proposal.
• 2. The pitching of the camp site may occur no sooner than one week before each first practice of TT 2019, Southern 100 2019 and Festival of Motorcycling 2019 and must be removed no later than a week after the last race of TT 2019, Southern 100 2019 and Festival of Motorcycling 2019 with no use of the site for camping in between these three race events.

Reason: The camp site is proposed as a seasonal feature and the site is not designated for development. In addition, the Department is concerned at the number of seasonal camp sites around the Island, both in terms of the need for any additional sites and the impact of them on the various permanent camp sites there already are. The Department understands that the Department for Enterprise is undertaking a review of the campsites on the Island and that is would be inappropriate to approve additional seasonal campsites in advance of this review.

• 3. The camp site may not be set up until the stop sign at the entrance to the site has been relocated in accordance with condition 2 of 17/00059/D or the existing sign which was approved under this application, has been relocated further back so as not to obscure the visibility of drivers leaving the site. Reason: In the interests of highway safety.
• 4. The mobile toilet and shower facilities may be erected no sooner than one week before the first practice of TT 2019 and must be removed no later than one week following the last race of the Festival of Motorcycling, 2019.

Reason: to ensure that no structures remain on site once the camp site is no longer operational. This decision relates to drawings P10-01, P10-02, P10-03, P10-04 and P10-05 all received on 5th March, 2019. Date of Issue: 1st May 2019
