Stewart, Helen

From: Clerk - Rushen <[email protected]> Sent: 22 August 2019 11:19 To: DEFA, Planning Subject: Rushen's August planning comments

Planning Applications – applications a) to d) below were supported by the Commissioners. a) 19/00883/B 6, Ballakeyll, Mr Clarke. Replacement of glazed conservatory roofs with tiles. b) 19/00853/B 6, Cronk e Dhooney Farmhouse, Mr & Mrs Bell. Replacement of porch and erection of single storey bedroom. c) 19/00733/B Garthcote, Ballakillowey Road, Mr & Mrs Shimmin. Amended plans. d) 19/00795/B 7, Bradda View, Mr Wilcock and Mrs Greenwood. Demolition of conservatory and erection of single storey extension.

The Commissioners had some concerns about the following application: - e) 19/00794/B Field 414174 off Ballagill Close, Croit e Caley, Miss Quinn. Erection of new building for equestrian and land upkeep purposes and associated hardcore track. The Commissioners were concerned to note that there remains a dispute over land title and rights of access over part of the proposed development area and feel that this should be determined prior to the application being considered. While the right of access the Commissioners formerly had over part of this land has now been ceded to the Manx Utilities Authority, who appear to no longer need access through the site, the neighbouring land owner maintains that his right of access should be retained. This issue appears to be relatively easy to resolve and the solution could impact slightly on the proposed development, so the Commissioners reiterate their view that this should be resolved prior to this application being determined.

The Commissioners also note that the building appears large in relation to the land holding and expect this will be reviewed by the planning officers dealing with this application.
