Decision Notice
John Potts Upper Ballacrye Sandygate Ramsey Isle Of Man IM7 3BS
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 REFUSE an application by John Potts, Ref 15/00160/B, for the Erection of an agricultural storage building with field access and hardstanding at Field 214380 Upper Ballacrye Sandygate Ramsey Isle Of Man for the following reason(s):
- The Department is not satisfied that there is sufficient justification for the proposed building to warrant setting aside the presumption against development outside of areas zoned for development. Furthermore, the proposed size and isolated position within the countryside is not considered appropriate and would harm the character and quality of the landscape. As such, the proposal is concluded to represent unwarranted development that is detrimental to the amenity of the countryside contrary to the provisions of General Policy 3, part (f) and Environmental Policy 1 & 15 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007.
