Permission was granted for the erection of an equestrian facility and ancillary buildings on land at Ballakaneen, Andreas Road, Andreas, Isle of Man. The application was considered by the Planning Committee and permitted in May 2010. The officer report identified the potential impacts on the surrounding countryside as a key issue, alongside the effect on local amenity and agricultural land quality. The proposal was found acceptable on all these points, with no harm to the countryside, no loss of amenity, and no loss of high quality agricultural land. The decision was subject to six conditions, and the site has a planning history of five previous applications.

The Planning Committee permitted the erection of an equestrian facility and ancillary buildings. The key planning considerations were that the development would not harm the surrounding countryside, would not result in any loss of local amenity, and would not affect high quality agricultural land.
