The Planning Committee refused the application because the site is located in the countryside and is not zoned for development under the 1982 Development Plan.
No adverse traffic impacts, subject to conditions on access drive turning feature, parking arrangements, and sight lines after consultation with Highway Authority, in the interests of road safety.
DOT Highways raised no objection subject to three specific access, turning, and parking conditions; Ballaugh Parish Commissioners objected due to the site not being zoned for development; Society for the Preservation of the Manx Countryside and Environment and local residents also objected on countryside protection and site suitability grounds.
