Sandygate House, Clenagh Road, Sandygate, Ramsey, Isle Of Man, IM7 3af
The proposal involved demolishing an existing stable block (described by objectors as a 1866 cow house) within the curtilage of Sandygate House and replacing it with a new dwelling intended to be ancillary to the main house. The site is in a rural area not zoned for residential development.

The officer considered the provision of a new dwelling, even if ancillary, contrary to planning policy as the site is not zoned for residential development and lacks appropriate agricultural need.
Planning Circular 1/88 'Residential Development - Houses in the Countryside'
Requires residential development to be on zoned land or justified by agricultural need. Officer assessed the unzoned rural site lacks such need, rendering new dwelling contrary to the circular. No evidence provided to meet policy tests.
Planning Circular 3/89 Renovation of buildings in the countryside
Permits conversion of rural buildings like the stable if policy-compliant. Noted as potential alternative to new build but not assessed for this approval in principle application.
