In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act and Order the Department of Local Government and the Environment does hereby REFUSE the following application made on behalf of:
Name: Mr Brian & Mrs Sandra Tomlinson Proposal: Approval in principle for erection of private stables at: Field 132021 Glenduff House Glen Duff Ramsey Isle Of Man IM7 2AT

Date of Issue: 23rd October 2009
Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas
Deputy Secretary to the Planning Committee
Reason(S) For Refusal:
- The proposed development would be contrary to Environment Policy 20 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007 by reason of the land use zoning and the presumption against large scale equestrian developments within such areas of High Landscape or Coastal Value and Scenic Significance.
- The proposed development would be contrary to Environment Policy 2 and 21 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007 by reason of its siting, design and finish. The proposed stables would be too distant from the existing residential property and building groups of Glenduff House and would be detrimental to the appearance of the surrounding landscape.
- The proposal fails to demonstrate that minimum visibility splays of 2.4 x 160m can be achieved from the application site onto the adjoining highway.
