Environment Policy 2
Requires protection of landscape character in Areas of High Landscape or Coastal Value and Scenic Significance (AHLV) unless development does not harm character/quality or location is essential. Officer assessed the garage's size, 7.5m height, exposed position harming character from public views (Coast Road, Jurby Road); not essential as alternatives exist (e.g. Industrial Estate); fails both tests.
General Policy 2
Permits development in zoned areas if it respects site/surroundings (siting, scale, form), does not adversely affect landscape/townscape character, local residents' amenity, or cause highway issues. Proposal failed on scale/form not respecting surroundings, overbearing/disturbance to amenities of Briarcliffe House, and landscape harm despite no highway issues.
General Policy 3
Prohibits development outside zoned areas except specific exceptions (e.g. essential agriculture, redundant building conversion). Site partly 'White Land (dwelling)' and 'Airfield' but within High Landscape Value; no exceptions met for garage; current scrapped vehicle storage does not establish residential curtilage for this scale.
Do not oppose has no traffic management, parking or road safety implications
Jurby Parish Commissioners object to the proposed detached garage due to its excessive size, height, and commercial appearance, while Highways Division do not oppose as it has no traffic, parking, or road safety implications.
Key concern: The size of the proposed garage is out of keeping as a garage for use by a domestic dwelling
Jurby Parish Commissioners
Objectionmy Commissioners have now considered the above proposed development, and are opposed to the proposed development; such garage would be better sited on Jurby Industrial Estate; they suggest that the old Filling Station and forecourt be cleared of such old vehicles and the cleared out building be then used for the storage of the classic cars
