In terms of pollution, whilst it is the role of the planning system to determine whether a development is an acceptable use of land rather than seeking to control the processes or substances used in any particular development, it is important that the Planning Directorate operates alongside other agencies such as the Environment Safety and Health Directorate whic h has statutory responsibilities regarding environmental protection, and the Health and Safety at Work Inspectorate, The Isle of Man Water Authority, the Department of Transport and the Department of Agriculture Fisheries and Forestry. 7.17 Pollution 7.17.1 It is important to protect the environment and quality of life by controlling development which would lead to unacceptable levels of water pollution, air pollution and other nuisances such as noise and smells. However, it is not the role of land us e planning to duplicate controls which are the statutory responsibility of other agencies including other directorates within the Department of Local Government and the Environment. It is the intention of the following policy to prevent development which would unacceptably impact upon current and future land uses through the effects of pollution.
