Officer's Report
Site
Ballasteen Farm, Andreas Village, is located on the southern side of the A17. The curtilage of the site has been highlighted in red on the location plan submitted.
Land use zoning
The area has been zoned under the Isle of Man Development Plan 1982 as being within an area of countryside. The property is not within a Conservation Area.
Proposal
The application proposes the construction of replacement agricultural building. The existing barn to be demolished is a steel framed Dutch barn. The new barn will be sited in between two existing
sheds. The shed would have a width of 12 metres, a length of 22.8 metres and a maximum height of 6.5 metres.
Representations
Andreas Parish Commissioners:- No objection
Highways Division:- Do not oppose
Manx Electricity Authority:- Standard overhead/underground cable comment.
We have received no privately written representations objecting to the application.
Assessment / recommendations
I consider because of the siting within the farm buildings, design and size the proposal would not cause harm to the openness and character of locality and would therefore not have a detrimental impact the visual amenities of the open countryside.
For these reasons the proposal would seem appropriate in this location and therefore my recommendation is for an approval.
I consider that the following meet the criteria of Government Circular 1/06 and should be afforded interested party status:
