The existing buildings were noted as being visible from the south east, through an access gap, and from further away in the landscape from Baldrine and Laxey. The formal decision of the planning committee was to refuse the application dated 6 April 2006. An officer report recommendation to refuse is also recorded, but the specific refusal reasons are not provided in the supplied material.
