DEC Decision Notice

Mr Keith Kinrade Arragon Cottage Arragon Lane Santon IM4 1HH

TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING ACT 1999 The Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2019

In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act, and subordinate Orders and Regulations, the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture determined to REFUSE an application by Mr Keith Kinrade, Ref 21/00211/B, for the Siting of a storage container for agricultural machinery and animal feed and creation of associated hard standing (retrospective) at Field 510788 Old Castletown Road / Off Arragon Lane Santon Isle Of Man IM4 1HG for the following reason(s):

• 1. There is insufficient agricultural justification for the siting of the container to outweigh the presumption against development here or enough to exempt the development as having sufficient agricultural need to pass as being essential for the conduct of agriculture. As such, the proposed development would fail to comply with General Policy 3 (f), of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016.
• 2. The storage container is situated in an isolated location which would result in the structure appearing visually intrusive within the landscape which would be contrary to Environment Policy 1 and 2 and Environment Policy 15 of The Isle of Man Strategic Plan.

Date of Issue: 22nd April 2021

Director of Planning and Building Control
