This application sought permission to create a new hardstanding area to provide additional car parking at Jurby Primary School, along with the relocation of an existing flag pole. The school is a large detached building situated to the north of Ballamenagh Road and east of School Close in Jurby Village. The main planning considerations were the potential visual impact on the character and appearance of the street scene, and any effect on highway safety arising from the additional parking provision. The application was approved by delegated decision on 4 September 2014, with one condition attached, as the proposal was considered acceptable against both of those concerns.
