Plot Adjacent To, Maughold Lodge, Claughbane Walk, Ramsey, Isle Of Man, IM8 2jp
This application sought permission to create a temporary vehicular entrance at a plot adjacent to Maughold Lodge on Claughbane Walk, Ramsey, in the parish of Lezayre on the Isle of Man. The officer's report noted that the site was landlocked at the time of the application, with no vehicular access despite part of the site adjoining Claughbane Walk. The ground level slopes downward from the road in a northerly direction. The site had a history of related planning applications dating back to 2006. The Planning Committee approved the application on 15 March 2011, in line with the officer's recommendation. Two conditions were attached to the permission.
The Planning Committee approved the creation of a temporary vehicular entrance at the plot adjacent to Maughold Lodge. The site was noted to be landlocked with no existing road access despite part of it reaching Claughbane Walk, making the proposed entrance a practical necessity. The officer recommended approval and the committee agreed.
