Name: Proposal: at:
Mrs Linda Ann Thompson \& Mr Vaughn Peter Williamson Erection of portakabin (Retrospective) for agricultural use Allandale Farm Ballamanagh Road Sulby Isle Of Man IM7 2HB which was considered on 22nd September 2010, for the reasons set out below. Date of Issue: 27th September 2010 Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas
Reason(S) For Refusal:
- The retention of the portakabin for the proposed use, is not considered to be essential for the conduct of agricultural activities on this site, consequently the proposal would be contrary to General Policy 3 and Environmental Policy 15 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan.
- Due the design, size and finish, the portakabin results in an adverse visual impact upon the character and quality of the landscape and introduces an incongruous visual intrusion in the countryside contrary to both Environmental Policy 15 and Environmental Policy 2 of The Isle of Man Strategic Plan.
This decision was made by the Senior Planning Officer in accordance with the authority delegated to her under Article 3(13) of the Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005.
