7.1  14C171J/ENF – Retrospective application for the retention and completion of a new build holiday accommodation together with change of use of land to associated equestrianism at Stryttwn Farm, Tynlon

The application was presented to the Planning and Orders Committee at the request of a local member.  At the meeting held on 4^th January, 2017 it was resolved that a site visit be undertaken and this took place on 18^th January, 2017.

Councillor Bob Parry OBE FRAgs speaking as a Local Member reminded the Committee of the background of the application and the applicant’s intention to utilise the converted outbuilding to be let to visitors for specific equestrian purposes which is essentially a rural pursuit and a tourist facility.   He expressed that this application is difficult as the applicant received information from Building Inspectors that most of the supporting walls of the outbuilding were below standard, the applicant continued to demolish some of the walls.  The Chief Planning Officer responded that the applicant was advised that he should contact the Planning Department before he started on demolishing the walls of the outbuildings by the Building Inspectors. 

Councillor Bob Parry OBE FRAgs reiterated that the applicant has spent a great deal of money on improving the subject building.  Councillor Parry considered that there is a need for such a facility on the Island and one deserving of approval. 

The Chief Planning Officer reported that the previous application for retrospective holiday accommodation was refused in 2016 as the site is in open countryside in an isolated rural area.  This application is for a tourism equestrian facility and there are planning policies to support such a venture.  However, the application site is an open countryside location and the Planning Officers are not convinced that such a facility is appropriate in this location and the recommendation remains one of refusal.  

Councillor Lewis Davies proposed that the application be refused and Councillor K.P. Hughes seconded the proposal.

It was RESOLVED to refuse the application in accordance with the Officer’s recommendation as set out in the written report.
