Dear Sir / Madam

Proposed amendments to previously approved scheme - PA 15/01186/B, Jacksons, Development of multi franchise car dealership, Cooil Road, Braddan, Isle of Man.

The planning approval for PA15/01186/B was issued on 2nd June 2016. This application is for minor amendments to the approved scheme which have arisen during the technical detailing of the proposals for construction purposes.

For consistency, the proposed site area of this application has been indicated to be the same as that approved by PA15/01186/B, including the area required for the roundabout, although an alternative location is now proposed for the site drainage treatment.

The proposed use, form and scale of the proposed development remains effectively the same as the approved scheme. The purpose of this planning application is to regularise the minor changes.

For ease of reference, the amendments from the approved scheme are outlined below; Site Layout

1. Minor amendments to parking and display areas, in line with detailed discussions with specific car manufacturers.
2. The water feature to the main entrance of Showroom 1 has been omitted due to residual health and safety concerns, and replaced with planted landscaping.

Showroom 1

1. Small reduction in building footprint
2. Minor elevational updates in line with reduction in building footprint
3. Omission of external balcony to east elevation, as no longer a requirement.
4. Colour of wall and roof cladding remain as previously approved

Showroom 2

1. Small amendments to the glazing layout, to better align with building structure.
2. Additional handover bay and glazed door added to west elevation.
3. Colour of wall and roof cladding remain as approved by Planning Department (Condition 7) and as noted on drawing.

Aftersales/Workshop Building

1. Small reduction in building footprint
2. Additional office space added to first floor
3. Standalone Valet facilities now incorporated into Aftersales building
4. Colour of wall and roof cladding remain as approved by Planning Department (Condition 7) and as noted on drawing.

Valet Building

1. Standalone building omitted and now incorporated into the Aftersales Building.

Electrical Sub-Station Building

1. A new sub-station building has been added to the western site boundary, to the rear of the Aftersales building, as requested by Manx Utilities.

Permanent and temporary site signage

1. An area for a Permanent Site Sign has been indicated fronting onto the roundabout. The design of this will be subject to a separate planning application.
2. The location and design of temporary site signage is proposed for the duration of the construction period.

Drainage

The drainage proposals for the extant approval is shown on drawing 15-058-01A. This involved the storm water being attenuated on site and then piped underground down the valley to be discharged into the Middle River. The foul water would also be piped along the

same route, to a treatment plant next to the river, with the clean water outfall being discharged into the Middle River.

The revised drainage proposal is shown on drawing 15-058-01 Rev B. This involves the storm water still being attenuated on site and then being discharged into an existing storm water culvert which is located close to the site. The foul water will be piped to a small treatment plant located next to the existing farm track, with the clean water outfall discharging into new field drains. The route of the drainage pipes, from the site across the lane, has been chosen to avoid impacting on any existing trees.

This new drainage arrangement has been agreed with Manx Utilities and will allow the drainage works to be contained in a smaller overall area next to the development site and limit how far construction works has to extend into the countryside. The close location of the foul treatment plant to the site will also aid maintenance access. The only visible evidence of the drainage system will be the treatment plant housing.
