DEC Decision Notice

Mr John Anderson & Mrs Fiona Anderson Knockaole Beg Farm Patrick Isle Of Man IM5 3AQ

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 Infrastructure determined to APPROVE a planning application by Mr John Anderson & Mrs Fiona Anderson, Ref 14/00460/B, for the erection of six timber cabins and use of land as a camp site at Field 330095 Knockaloe Beg Farm Knockaloe Beg Lane Raggatt Peel Isle Of Man subject to compliance with the following condition(s):

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 14 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No2) Order 2013 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.

1. The structures hereby approved may be used only as holiday accommodation and if no longer required or used for their approved purpose must be removed, along with the approved access track and the site restored to an agricultural field.

REASON: the only justification for the pods and access track is related to the temporary nature of the accommodation and their contribution to the tourist accommodation already available on the wider site. If the pods are no longer used or required for such purposes they should no longer remain on site.

1. Prior to the commencement of the approved use of the field for camping there must be approved by the Planning Authority a scheme to provide car parking elsewhere than the camping field for campers and parked vehicles should not remain parked within the camping field. The development must be undertaken in accordance with this scheme.

REASON: The introduction of car parking to the rear of the pods will increase the visual impact of the property and as such, and to add to the character of the camping experience in this rural setting the vehicles should be parked elsewhere than the camping field.

This approval relates to the information, illustrations and plans all received on 10th April, 2014.

Director of Planning and Building Control
