This retrospective application sought permission to use part of a field at Derbyhaven, Isle of Man, as a temporary builder's compound to support renovation or construction works at the neighbouring Derbyhaven House. The compound was already in use at the time of the application, and permission was sought to regularise this use until March 2019. Officers carried out two site visits during the assessment. On the first visit in August 2018, the site was locked and unoccupied. A second visit in September 2018 found the site actively in use with vehicles and workers present. The application was permitted by the Committee on 20 September 2018, subject to three conditions.

The application was approved by the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture on 20 September 2018. Permission was granted retrospectively for the temporary use of part of a field as a builder's compound, with the use limited until March 2019 to support construction works at the adjacent Derbyhaven House.
