Permitted Development Review

This order makes a number of provisions and some targeted amendments could be made as set out below. The order is subject to standard conditions that apply to all development within the order and no changes are proposed to these (e.g. no creation of new access to a highway, no loss of trees, etc).

Class A

Permitted Development for operations in connection with another development that has been granted approval following an application to the Department or the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture. This relates to temporary uses associated with developments that have planning approval (e.g. site compounds associated with building sites) and no changes are proposed.

Class B

Permitted Development for operations in connection with a permitted use. This relates to temporary events and could be expanded to allow for public events on land which is owned or controlled by Government Departments, Local Authorities or Statutory Boards to allow for events such as concerts or circuses. 

Class C 

Permitted Development for operations in connection with the Isle of Man TT, Manx Grand Prix, Isle of Man Classic TT and the Isle of Man Festival of Motorcycling. This relates to uses on land at the Official Race Event paddock and campsite areas at Nobles Park, Douglas and is shown on a map. This allows for operations in connection with the Isle of Man TT, Manx Grand Prix, Isle of Man Classic TT and the Isle of Man Festival of Motorcycling for race competitor’s garages and workshops; hospitality and catering facilities; grandstands; and the use of land for accommodation. It is subject to conditions including that things cannot be erected more than 10 days before the event and taken down within 10 days of it ending, and that the use cannot commence more than 3 days before and must cease 3 days after. In light of discussion with The Motorsport Team (DfE) it is proposed to: review this wording to allow for installation of temporary roadways/footpaths within the sites, ensure allowance for traders/retailers/sponsors including vehicles/awning/marquees, expand the 10 days set up/take down to 14 days and to expand the area of permitted activity to include Nobles Park.

Class D

Class F

Safety works in connection with the Southern 100, the Pre TT Classic and the Post TT Races. The races referenced are updated and the provisions to be aligned with and subsumed into with Class D.
