TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING ACT 1999 The Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2019
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 George Moore, Ref 24/00440/B, for the Relocation and reorientation of 2no. agricultural buildings, and alteration to site levels (retrospective) at Field 324368 Top Road Crosby 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).
Reason: the countryside is protected from development and an exception is being made on the basis of agricultural need. As such the buildings must be used for the purposes for which it is approved.
Reason: The buildings have been exceptionally approved solely to meet agricultural need and their subsequent retention would result in an unwarranted intrusion in the countryside.
Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture, Planning & Building Control Directorate, Murray House, Mount Havelock, Douglas, Isle of Man, IM1 2SF. Email [email protected]. Tel 01624 685950
(including species, density and location) shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Department. The grassed area shall be implemented as shown in the approved details and retained as such, thereafter.

Any plants which within a period of five years from the completion of the development die, are removed, or become seriously damaged or diseased must be replaced in the next planting season with others of a similar size and species.
Reason: In the interests of the appearance of the development and the surrounding countryside.
