7 November 2019 · Delegated
Field 430886, Kerrowkeil Road, Grenaby, Ballasalla, Isle Of Man, IM9 3bb
Permission was sought to erect a detached garage on a field adjacent to Edd Beg (formerly Toms Cottage) on Kerrowkeil Road, Grenaby, Ballasalla, Isle of Man. The application was decided by a delegated Principal Planner and was refused on 7 November 2019. The decision turned on the applicant's failure to provide sufficient justification or evidence of need to demonstrate that an exception to countryside development policy was warranted. As a result, the proposal was found to represent an unwarranted spread of development across the countryside. The officer's recommendation was also to refuse, and the formal decision aligned with that recommendation.
The application was refused because the applicant did not provide sufficient justification or evidence of need to support an exception to countryside development policy. Without that justification, the proposal was considered an unwarranted spread of development into the countryside.
