Peel Heritage Centre, Mill Road, Peel, Isle Of Man, IM5 1ta
Permission was granted for the erection of a covered walkway with associated landscaping at the House of Manannan Heritage Centre, Mill Road, Peel. The site sits on the corner of Station Place and Mill Road, to the south east of Peel Harbour, and falls within the Peel Conservation Area. The existing courtyard, which is accessed from the Kingdom of the Isles Gallery and currently used as a children's play area, was noted as offering limited usable space. The application was determined on a delegated basis and permitted subject to one condition.
The Department of Infrastructure permitted the covered walkway and associated landscaping, subject to one condition. The site sits within the Peel Conservation Area, and the proposal was assessed against relevant policies before being approved on a delegated basis.
