Dear Sir/Madam,
ON APPEAL: Planning Application No: 00/00744/B – JCK Ltd. – Erection of one dwelling on land known as Walker’s Paddock, Field 476, 511, 512 & 514, Main Road, Greeba, Marown
I refer to the recent appeal hearing in respect of the above planning application.
In accordance with the provisions of paragraph 7(5) of Schedule 1 to the Isle of Man Planning Scheme (Development Plan) Order 1982, I am enclosing herewith a copy of the report of the person appointed to hear this appeal.
The Minister has considered the report, concurs with the appointed person’s conclusions, and accepts the recommendation that the appeal should be dismissed. Accordingly, he has directed that the Planning Committee’s decision to refuse permission should be confirmed, not only on design grounds, but also because the principle of residential development of this land would be contrary to the Department’s established policies in respect of rural development. Formal notice of this decision is attached hereto.
Yours faithfully, See overleaf for circulation list.

[Copies as per Circulation List]
In pursuance of his powers under the above Acts and Order the MINISTER for Local Government and the Environment, following report by the appointed person, does hereby REFUSE the application by you on behalf of JCK Limited for erection of dwelling, Walker’s Paddock, Greeba, Marown, for the following reasons:-
- The site is part of generally open countryside, and is designated as an area of High Landscape Value and Scenic Significance; residential development would be contrary to the Department’s established policies in respect of new houses in the countryside (as set out in Planning Circular 1/88).
- In any case, the design of the house is not typical of other large rural properties on the Island; the proposed building would thus be out of keeping in this rural area.
Date of Issue: 15th May, 2001.
By Order of the Minister
Murray House, Mount Havelock, Douglas, Isle of Man.
Note 1: A copy of the report of the appointed person is appended hereto.
