Field 531402, Whitebridge Road, Onchan, Isle Of Man, IM4 6ad
Permission was granted for a temporary camping area on part of a field at Ballakaighen Farm, Whitebridge Road, Onchan. The proposal included associated parking, fencing, and welfare facilities, intended to operate during the TT Festival fortnight and the Festival of Motorcycling fortnight across 2014 and 2015. The site sits in the rural part of Onchan and forms part of a farm complex now primarily used for leisure, known locally as 'Laserblast'. The field in question lies immediately north of the farm buildings and is described as relatively flat. The officer's report identified three main planning considerations: visual impact on the surrounding countryside, potential effects on the amenities of neighbouring properties, and highway safety. The officer recommended approval, and the application was permitted by committee.
