Thankyou for the correspondence dated 6th November 2025. We write to support the recommendation of refusing permission to install poles to provide fibre optic broadband connectivity at Ballaquane Park. The decision was made recently . Planning Ref 25/90400/B You have our original letter to show the inspector our objections . We request a site visit to Ballaquane Park please which we have been told we are entitled to have . In addition to our original letter written earlier this year we point out that for Manx Telecom to erect poles in order to provide fibre optic services to domestic properties, it would be a contravention of the original planning approval for our property. Since the early 70s it has been the settled policy that all services provided to new properties should be via underground means . To start erecting new poles in order to provide these services is a backward step and is on a par with a country in the 3rd world . The MUA moved on years ago frequently under pressure rom the planning committee to install cables underground. MT clearly place the payment of shareholders’ dividends above the loss of environmental amenity in the Manx built environment . This should not be allowed to happen . Yours sincerely ,
Ballaquane Park , Peel . IM5 1PU
