Land At, Iom College Of Further Education, Homefield Road, Douglas, Isle Of Man, IM2 6rb
The proposal involved creating a horticultural and agricultural project area on land at the Isle of Man College of Further Education, Homefield Road, Douglas. The works included erecting fencing to define the area, along with changing rooms, a tool store, and a polytunnel to support practical educational use of the site. The application was decided by delegated authority and was permitted on 31 January 2014. Detailed officer reasoning is not available in the source material, but the structures proposed are modest and ancillary to an educational use.
The application was approved by delegated decision. The proposed structures — fencing, changing rooms, a tool store, and a polytunnel — are small-scale and ancillary to the educational use of the college site, which appears to have been considered acceptable in planning terms. Three conditions were attached to the permission.
Condition 1
The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.
Condition 2
The development hereby permitted shall not be carried out except in full accordance with the drawing no's 003,004 and 005 received on 11th October 2013 and drawing no's 001 rev A and 002 rev A received on 17th December 2013.
Condition 3
No development shall take place until there has been submitted to and approved by the Planning Department a detailed drawing showing the proposed new planting along the south/south west and north east boundary which shall include indications of all existing trees and hedgerows on the land, and details of any to be retained, together with measures for their protection in the course of development. All planting, seeding or turfing comprised in the approved details of landscaping must be carried out in the first planting and seeding seasons following the completion of the development, whichever is the sooner. Any trees or plants which within a period of five years from the completion of the development die, are removed, or become seriously damaged or diseased must be replaced in the next planting season with others of a similar size and species.
