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 Gary & Mrs Catherine Harrison, Ref 24/00015/B, for the Erection of stable building and additional use of surrounding land for equestrian purposes at Part Field 124359 Bride Road Andreas Isle Of Man .

Any conditions or notes which apply to the approval are set out below. This approval is subject to compliance with any conditions listed and may not be implemented until it becomes final (see guidance notes).

• 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 26 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2019 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.

• 2. In the event that the stable building approved is no longer used or required for the stabling of horses, the stable building shall be removed and the ground restored to its former condition within 24 months of the date the use ceased.

Reason: The stable building has been exceptionally approved solely to meet the specific need based on the information provided and its subsequent retention without that need would result in an unwarranted stable building in the countryside.

• 3. The building hereby approved must be used only for personal equestrian purposes and shall not be used for any commercial use or commercial purposes.

Reason: The application has been assessed on this private use only as requested in the application for the stabling of horses and keeping of equipment and feed in association with the horses.

• 4. The use of the land shall only be for personal equestrian purposes and shall not be used for a commercial use or commercial purposes. In the event that the stable building is removed in line with C2 above, the equestrian use of the land must also cease.

• Reason: the equestrian use of the land is considered on an exceptional basis for the need for horse grazing and stabling and in the event that need ceases the land shall also revert to its original use and purpose.
• 5. The existing stable building on site shall be removed from the site within one month of the new stable block being ready for use.

Reason: To ensure proper control of the development in the open countryside and to reflect the information provided in the application.

• 002 Rev A - proposed site plan
• 003 Rev A - existing site plan

• A01 - proposed stable elevations
• A02 - proposed stable floor plans Planning statement Received 23.01.24

This decision has been made for the following reasons(s) The principle of a stable block and additional use of the land for equestrian purposes is considered to be acceptable, whilst the design, scale, form and layout of the proposed development is also deemed to be appropriate in the context of the site's rural location, without detriment to the character and appearance of the wider landscape. The proposals further raise no material highway safety concerns. The application is therefore considered compliant with General Policies 2 and 3, Environment Policies 1, 14, 19 and 21 and Transport Policy 4 of the Strategic Plan (2016).
