• 1.0 INTRODUCTION
• 1.1 The site is an area of approximately 10 hectares situated on the northern side of the A10 northern coast road which links the village of Ballaugh with Ramsey via the northern coast of the Island and passing through Killane, Jurby, The Lhen and Bride.
• 1.2 Ballacallum Red Gates is a holding which stretches from the A10 to the coast and accommodates a range of buildings including a dwelling, Up until recently, there were just two outbuildings which sit to the east of the house. More recently, two new buildings have been erected to the east of this together with the formation of earth banks to the south, east and north.
• 1.3 The site is owned by a person who has an arboricultural services business who lives, with his family, in the dwelling which is within the site. This involves a range of services including tree felling, limbing, lopping and topping. The applicant has a range of equipment and vehicles associated with his business which he keeps on this site adjacent to his home.
• 1.4 The company employs 9 people some of whom come to the site to pick up whatever equipment or vehicle is needed for the day, leave their vehicle on the site and return to collect it at the end of the day. All of the equipment and vehicles associated with the business is kept on site.
• 1.5 The application concerns two buildings which have recently been constructed. These structures were constructed without the benefit of planning approval. The applicant was aware that planning approval was required but urgently required secure and protected accommodation for the vehicles and equipment he had recently purchased in order to be able to undertake works for Manx Utilities and went ahead and constructed the buildings without first applying for planning approval.
• 1.6 The applicant has also concreted the access lane to make it suitable for use by his vehicles. Part of this work was undertaken more than 4 years ago as can be seen on the Government aerial photography which is understood to have been captured in 2021. This also shows the parking area alongside the new buildings as it currently appears. These works which have been in situ for at least 4 years are understood to be immune from the issue of an enforcement notice.

constructed in 2023 and the building to the east in 2025 along with the surrounding banking and the rest of the concreting of the access road.

1.8 The application seeks permission for the construction of the concrete road from the public highway to the section which was completed in 2021, the construction of the two buildings and the earth banking around them together with the use of the site defined in red on the application drawings, for the storage and maintenance of vehicles and equipment associated with the arboricultural services business run from the site together with vehicular parking associated with the same business.

• 2.0 PLANNING POLICY CONTEXT
• 2.1 The site lies in an area which is not designated for development on the Isle of Man Planning Scheme (Development Plan) Order 1982 which is the only adopted land use development plan for this site.
• 2.2 On this plan the site is designated as an area of High Landscape or Coastal Value and Scenic Significance. The route of the coastal footpath is shown running between the coast and the buildings on the site.
• 2.3 Whilst the draft Area Plan for the North and West, which will replace the 1982 Plan if and when it is adopted, is not yet in force, it contains useful information which can inform planning decisions. On the Environmental and Infrastructural Constraints maps there are no constraints shown which affect the site of the proposed works other than the route of an existing overhead electricity supply which sits adjacent to the entrance onto the A10 then heads north east to a sub station some distance from the site of the proposed works.
• 2.4 There is a presumption against development in such areas as expressed in General Policy 3 of the Strategic Plan with exceptions including

• (f) building and engineering operations which are essential for the conduct of agriculture or forestry and
• (g) development recognised to be of overriding national need in land use planning terms and for which there is no reasonable and acceptable alternative.

• 2.5 Development which adversely affects the countryside is presumed against (Environment

• Policy 1) and for development within areas of High Landscape or Coastal Value and Scenic Significance the protection of the character of the landscape is the most important consideration unless it can be shown that the development would not harm the character and quality of the landscape or the location for the development is essential (Environment
• Policy 2).

• 2.6 Development is generally directed towards settlements and land designated for that purpose (Strategic Policies 1, 2 and 10, Transport Policy 1).

• 3.0 PLANNING HISTORY
• 3.1 The site itself has been the subject of relatively few applications.
• 3.2 A new barn was permitted under 88/00976/B
• 3.3 The change of use of the barn to a craft workshop was refused - 91/04070/C
• 3.4 A sun lounge was added under 94/00709/B
• 3.5 A 1000 litre log tank was permitted under 94/01000/B
• 3.6 The windows were approved to be replaced under 94/01163/B
• 3.7 A rear porch was added under 94/01529/B
• 3.8 Approval was granted for alterations to the sun lounge windows and conversion of outbuildings to create garden store and hobbies room - 99/02239/B
• 3.9 Permission was granted for alterations to the agricultural barn including lowering of the roof - 00/00981/B
• 3.10 A new agricultural building was refused on the site under 20/01103/B. This was to be erected where the smaller of the two buildings now proposed is sited and the proposed agricultural building was to have a footprint of approximately 22m by 9m and 3.65m to the eaves and 5.55m to the ridge. This was refused for the reason that

“It is considered the proposed building given the lack of agricultural need, and its size within the countryside would result in a detrimental visual impact and harm to the character and quality of the landscape contrary to General Policy 3; Environment Policy 1,2, & 15 of the IOM Strategic Plan and recommended for refusal.”

• 3.11 A stable block with hard standing and landscaping was refused - 21/01428/B. This application was initially refused and this was confirmed at appeal. The reason for refusal was as follows:

Sarah Corlett Town Planning Consultancy Ltd 8 Registered address: Ballachrink Croft, Ballacorey Road, Bride, Isle of Man IM7 4AW t: 07624 485517 e:[email protected] w:www.sarahcorlett.com Directors: Sarah Elizabeth Corlett Nicola Jane Corlett

Company Registration 134325C

Overall, it is considered the proposed building for equestrian use would be of a size, design and location which would result in unacceptable harm to the character and quality of the open countryside in a landscape designated as an Area of High Landscape or Coastal Value and Scenic Significance where the protection of the character of the landscape is the most important consideration. No convincing case of exceptional circumstances in favour of the proposal has been established to outweigh the identified harm. Therefore, the terms of IMSP Policies GP3, EP1, EP2, EP20 and EP21 would be unacceptably compromised.

• 3.12 The site of the proposed stable block was immediately to the south east of the existing garage/barn roughly where the smaller of the two buildings now proposed is situated. The stable building had a footprint of approximately 20m by 9.5m and an eaves and ridge height of 3.75m and 4m. That building was to be finished in vertical larch boarding.

Other arboricultural services business applications

• 3.13 There have been other businesses similar to that run by the applicant which have sought and received planning approval for establishing facilities for similar purposes on land not designated for development and outwith existing settlements.
• 3.14 Island Tree and Landscaping is based at the operator’s home at The Dhoor, Andreas and two buildings were permitted to accommodate his arboricultural and landscaping business - 90/01250/B and 22/01351/B.
• 3.15 Countryside Maintenance established a horticultural depot off the Bollyn Road near Orrisdale under 94/01109/B with an extension (97/00810/B) and further facilities added under 15/01234/B and 17/00108/B which included welfare and staff meeting and changing facilities.

Other applications

• 3.16 We note that planning approval was recently granted to a building for the storage of machinery and implements associated with a local construction company at Ballasalla Farm. Whilst an application for a new building was refused here under 18/00533/B, following the issue of a Certificate of Lawful Use in respect of the running of an operational centre and workshop under 24/00548/LAW, an application for a building to provide storage for the equipment and vehicles associated with that now lawful business was permitted (22/004449/ B).

4.0 The Proposal

4.1 Proposed is the erection of two detached buildings, the formation of earth banks to the north, south and east of the buildings and the concreting of the access lane from the A10 to meet the existing concreted lane which was completed more than four years ago. The smaller building is 15m by 9m with a mono pitch roof with an eaves level of 4.2m and a slightly lower rear eaves level of 4.1m. The larger building has a floor area of 20m by 18m with a pitched roof whose apex sits 5.8m above ground level and the front and rear eaves level at 4m and 2.6m respectively. Both buildings are finished in light grey coloured sheeting.

4.2 Also proposed is the use of the site which encompasses the proposed new buildings as well as the existing parking area which was completed more than four years ago as illustrated on the aerial photographs above, for the purposes of an arboricultural services business, including the storage and maintenance of the equipment and vehicles associated with the business and the parking of staff vehicles. This use is associated with the occupation of the existing dwelling on site.

4.3 The applicant lives in the existing adjacent dwelling with his wife and young children.

4.4 The applicant's business is arboricultural services with approximately 80% of it coming from Government and Manx Utilities and involving road clearance, storm damage reparation,

Sarah Corlett Town Planning Consultancy Ltd Registered address: Ballachrink Croft, Ballacorey Road, Bride, Isle of Man IM7 4AW t: 07624 485517 e: [email protected] w: www.sarahcorlett.com Directors: Sarah Elizabeth Corlett Nicola Jane Corlett Company Registration 134325C ACRI

maintenance of power lines. A small amount of work involves private projects generally on a smaller scale. The applicant’s work often involves responding to emergencies when trees have fallen or are about to and also are large scale jobs which involve specialist equipment. For example, any work around power lines requires specialised equipment and many vehicles have to be capable of dealing with large scale work and working at height.

• 4.5 In recognition of this and particularly the work commitments with Manx Utilities and Isle of Man Government, the applicant has recently invested in an insulated cherry picker which is suitable for working alongside power lines, a wood chipper and truck which are specifically all for work for Manx Utilities in addition to the items he already owns. These items are not only expensive but also require secure and weathertight storage. This is particularly important at the application site which is very exposed to salt air which can and does corrode items left outside. There is also prevailing windblown sand here which can add to corrosion.
• 4.6 Given the expense and nature of the equipment he has invested in which responds to the work commitments his business has, the applicant urgently needed secure and weathertight accommodation for it, in addition to his existing items. The proposed buildings represent that accommodation. Immediately below is an image of the larger, easternmost building.

• 4.7 The machinery and equipment kept in the shed is listed as follows:

Vehicles 5 x Isuzu tipper trucks

• 1 x ford van

• 2 x tracked cherry pickers
• 3 x woodchippers 2 x Stump Grinder 1 x Digger

• 1 x Telehandler/Tractor 5 x farm implements for maintenance of the land Log splitting equipment
• 2 x ride on mowers 1 x Quad bike and trailer

• 4.8 The applicant has run his business from this site since they acquired it in 2020. He has looked for a dedicated site away from his home but has not been able to find anywhere which meets his requirements and at the same time would be affordable to the business. The amount of floorspace required is at least what is proposed in the two buildings in this application plus the parking space for his staff vehicles, turning and manoeuvring space for the vehicles and equipment as well as space for arisings (logs and timber). A recent site which was in any case too small for his needs and would not have worked, was available but at a cost £40,000 per annum hire which is not affordable by the business.
• 4.9 The earthworks which have been undertaken provide not only visual screening of the buildings but also protection from the weather and blown sand.

• 4.10 The buildings are agricultural in size and design and could be used for agricultural purposes should that need arise in the future.
• 4.11 The equipment stored is also for the maintenance of the wider site - ditching, fencing, flailing etc although the majority of space is required for the tree services business.
• 4.12 There is no processing of materials undertaken on site; it is purely the parking and storage of vehicles and equipment and their maintenance.

5.0 Conclusion

5.1 The applicant fully accepts that the development shown in this application should have had planning approval before it was commenced. He was of the view that the urgent need he had for the accommodation justified the risk to him that planning approval might not be ultimately granted and proceeded in that knowledge. He is also aware that applicants for retrospective planning permission should be neither afforded benefit nor be disadvantaged by the fact that the works proposed have already been undertaken.

The proposed concrete road

5.2 The lane to the buildings was originally two hard surfaced lines with a grass strip in between with a solid concrete route closest to the highway as may be seen below on the Google Streetview dated 2010:

5.3 The works have continued this concrete route all the way to the buildings, providing a safe and stable route all the way to the site.

5.4 We would submit that the works which have been undertaken in this respect have little or no impact on the appearance of the site compared with what existed previously and provide

a better access to the site, regardless of for the purposes to which the land and buildings are put.

The proposed buildings

• 5.5 We are aware that the two previous refusals for the agricultural building and stables both refer to the visual impact of the proposed buildings on the landscape, the inspector noting that even though the building in that case might not be visible from a public perspective, it was still not acceptable.
• 5.6 The buildings which are the subject of this application are visible by the public only for a fleeting moment as one proceeds towards the Lhen Bridge from the south:
• 5.7 This view quickly disappears as the road descends and the buildings are hidden behind the rising ground between the viewer and the site. The buildings are not visible from the A10 in front of the site and whilst we fully accept that the buildings might be visible from neighbouring property, the applicant has contacted his neighbours and none has any objection to what has been built. Please see accompanying correspondence.

Company Registration 134325C

• 5.8 The proposed use of the buildings and site is not agricultural or horticultural nor is it equestrian based. There are no policies within the Strategic Plan which would therefore support the application.
• 5.9 The applicant’s business is the only one which is equipped to respond to the needs of Government and Manx Utilities in the event of a large scale emergency or one which required the specialist equipment and vehicles which the applicant has. Evidence of this is provided in the accompanying correspondence from Manx Utilities, Department for Infrastructure and Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture.
• 5.10 Not only do these bodies require an operator with the appropriate equipment and skillset, they also often require a prompt response. As the applicant’s equipment and vehicles are alongside his home, in the event of an emergency it is all to hand. If his vehicles and equipment were elsewhere, he would have to go to that place, arrange the appropriate equipment and vehicles and they go on to the site of the required work. By having the equipment and vehicles at home he is ready to respond promptly to an emergency event.
• 5.11 In any case, the applicant has been unable to identify an alternative site which is both large enough to accommodate his requirements and at the same time be affordable by the business. We have given the example of Island Tree and Landscapes which is based alongside that operator’s home and also Countryside Maintenance which is not next to that operator’s home but is nevertheless, like Island Tree and Landscapes, based on a site which is not designated for development. We would submit that this demonstrates that arboricultural services are treated differently from agriculture and most industrial operations and that an exception to policy can and has been made to accommodate it on sites not designated for that purpose.
• 5.12 The need for Government and Manx Utilities to deal with emergency events involving trees is essential to national security and public safety and convenience and given that the applicant’s business is the only one which can deal with certain eventualities, we would put forward the case that the proposed facilities would satisfy the requirement for the development to represent overriding national need and for which there is no reasonable and acceptable alternative, thus satisfying General Policy 3.

Sarah Corlett Town Planning Consultancy Ltd 19 Registered address: Ballachrink Croft, Ballacorey Road, Bride, Isle of Man IM7 4AW t: 07624 485517 e:[email protected] w:www.sarahcorlett.com Directors: Sarah Elizabeth Corlett Nicola Jane Corlett

Company Registration 134325C

• 5.13 The development still has to demonstrate that it has an acceptable impact on the environment. We note that the inspector considering the most recent application for the stables states:

“The appeal site lies on the edge of the west coast, seaward facing in an exposed location. The character and appearance of the surrounding land is of a green and open tranquil rural landscape with scattered clusters of farm buildings set in extensive undulating agricultural land sloping down towards the sea. Dispersed pockets of woodland irregularly punctuate the landscape with some hedgerow boundary definition but this does not dilute the sweep of this open coastal landscape and its visual relationship with the expanse of the sea beyond.

Ballacullen [sic] Red Gates comprises a land-holding of some 24 acres of pasture land1 , along with a group of buildings of a farm character, including a small single storey barn, outbuildings and a house where render with gable tiled roofs as external finishes predominate. The cluster of buildings Ballacullen [sic] Red Gates presents in the landscape is characteristic of the dispersed nature of farmsteads and residences in the wider landscape.”

• 5.14 She concludes that the proposed building would have a harmful impact on the character and appearance of the countryside, although accepted that the proposed building would not generally be visible in the wider landscape from a public vantage point and that the design and size would not be unfamiliar in the landscape amongst the scattered agricultural farmsteads in the immediate vicinity.
• 5.15 Whilst we accept that this is what the inspector said, we would submit that the proposed buildings are visible only fleetingly and take the form of a cluster of agricultural buildings next to smaller buildings which are already visible in the same limited public view. The neighbours who are able to see the buildings have confirmed that they have no issue with or objection to them. We would therefore say that the proposed buildings would not have a harmful impact on the landscape and would not be in conflict with Environment Policies 1 or 2.
• 5.16 However, if it is not considered that the buildings have an acceptable impact on the landscape, we would reiterate that the need for them is genuine and it responds to the need to have a service which can deal with events which can disrupt power, telephony, access

Sarah Corlett Town Planning Consultancy Ltd 20 Registered address: Ballachrink Croft, Ballacorey Road, Bride, Isle of Man IM7 4AW t: 07624 485517 e:[email protected] w:www.sarahcorlett.com Directors: Sarah Elizabeth Corlett Nicola Jane Corlett

Company Registration 134325C

and can threaten public safety. As such, we would reiterate the points made in 5.12 that in respect of Environment Policies 1 and 2, that there is an over-riding national need in land use planning terms which outweighs the requirement to protect these areas and for which there is no reasonable and acceptable alternative (EP1) and that the location for the development is essential (EP2).

Earth banks

• 5.17 The proposed earth banks are not publicly visible and help reduce the impact of the buildings from any public or private view. They offer additional biodiversity and shelter for both wildlife and the human users of the site and what is stored there.

Proposed use of the site as an arboricultural services business

• 5.18 As stated above, the need for the applicant’s services is apparent and his need to locate his business depot here is genuine, not having been able to identify any alternative which is both suitable and affordable by the business. This is not the only example of a business located alongside the operator’s home nor the only one located on land not designated for development.
• 5.19 The proposed use generates vehicles coming to and going from the site, the majority of which would not otherwise be apparent. However, the access lane is private and has passing places and those using it are familiar with it and would know when other users were coming and going. Not all staff always come to this site as part of their working day, particularly when the vehicles and equipment they will use are already at the work site.
• 5.20 Again the applicant has contacted his neighbours and none has any objection to the operation of his business from this site. The business has been run from here since the applicant purchased the property with no apparent issue.
• 5.21 This application is an unusual case where the applicant provides a service which includes work which no other operator on the Island would be capable of providing. Those services are often critical to public services or safety where he is required to respond to an emergency and where the appropriate skills and equipment are required to be provided as quickly and efficiently as possible. The letters provided by Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture, Department for Infrastructure and Manx Utilities confirm this.

5.22 We truly believe that the services provided respond to national need and that there is no reasonable or acceptable alternative. As such, we would ask that an exception is made to the presumption against development in this case and that the proposal is considered favourably for the reasons set out above.
