The proposal was approved because it complied with General Policy 2, Transport Policy 7, and Community Policy 10 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016.
General Policy 2
Requires development to respect site/surroundings in siting, scale, design; provide safe access/parking; not harm wildlife/amenity; and meet Strategic Plan zoning where compliant. Officer assessed the industrial proposal as acceptable despite 'Airfield' zoning due to precedents, fitting design, over-provision of parking, and grassland mitigation, finding no adverse impacts on street scene, highways, or wildlife.
Transport Policy 7
Requires parking per Appendix 7 standards (1 space per 30 sqm for light industrial). The 640 sqm proposal provides 22 spaces against required 21, overcoming prior refusal for insufficient parking; Highways had no objection.
Community Policy 10
Requires proper access for fire-fighting vehicles and adequate water supplies. Proposal includes 46,000 litre underground tank fed by rainwater, beneficial for site and wider area, conditioned for provision before occupation.
