Officer's Report

The Site

The site represents the building and associated land of Swagelok Ltd, Ballafletcher Road, Cronbourne, Braddan.

Planning Status

The site is located within the Parish of Braddan and is identified as being within an area of 'Predominantly Industrial Use'.

Planning History

The following applications are considered relevant in the determination of this application:

PA 07/01082/B - Alterations, erection of an extension to existing factory, extend existing car park and creation of a vehicular access - APPROVED

PA 06/00630/B - The installation of an additional door on the west elevation of the building - APPROVED

The Proposal

This proposal seeks permission for a number of alterations to the existing approved scheme, which include:-

1. Change of wall and roof cladding to existing by the application of a specialist renovation paint system;
2. The removal of gates and fences to the external loading dock;
3. Minor amendment to the height of the doors to the new extension; and
4. Location of motorcycle and cycle shelters.

Representations

Braddan Parish Commissioners have considered this application and have no objection to this proposal. The Department of Transport Highways Division does not oppose this application. The Drainage Services Manager seeks to add a condition relating to surface water and petrol interceptor for the car park drainage only.

Assessment

The proposal amendments to the approved scheme are very minor alterations which will have little or no impact upon the surrounding locality. For these reasons the proposal would seem appropriate in this location and therefore my recommendation is for an approval.
