This application sought permission to reposition a farm gate access at Field 134403, Glentramman Abbey Farm, Lezayre Road, Ramsey. The site sits at the west end of Lezayre Road, close to its junction with Lezayre Church Road and the east end of Glen Tramman, with an existing access at the northwest corner. The main planning consideration was the impact the repositioned access would have on the character of the area. The Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture determined the proposal was acceptable and granted permission, subject to two conditions. An amended drawing (GTAF4A) was also submitted as part of the application.
The Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture approved the application on 18 January 2023. The key planning consideration was the impact on the character of the area, and the proposal was found acceptable on that basis.
