Application No.: 08/00884/B Applicant: Mr A Kinvig Proposal: Erection of extension to existing agricultural building Site Address: Ballakissack Farm School Lane Santon Isle Of Man ### Considerations Case Officer: Miss S E Corlett Photo Taken: Site Visit: Expected Decision Level: Delegated Decision Senior DC Officer ### Written Representations ### Consultations Consulttee: Manx Electricity Authority Notes: There are Underground Cables/Overhead Lines present in the area indicated in you Planning Application. Please contact our Network Operations Department, Manx Electricity Authority, [Tel. 687687] to discuss working practices around Cables and Overhead Lines which may be required to be diverted before any work can be carried out on site. Consulttee: Highways Division Notes: No objection Consulttee: Santon Commissioners Notes:**
The site represents the holding of Ballakissack Farm, situated on the north western side of the A5 Castletown Road, via a lane which leads past the former Santon Primary School, now a centre for further education. The farm accommodates a number of buildings including a farmhouse and a large number of other barns and agricultural buildings which are largely grouped closely together around the farmhouse.
The site lies within an area of Woodland and an Area of High Landscape or Coastal Value and Scenic Significance on the Isle of Man Planning Scheme (Development Plan) Order 1982.
Planning permission was sought and granted for the replacement of the windows in the farmhouse under PA 05/2009 and for the erection of a slurry store under PA 05/92187.
Proposed now is the extension to an existing cattle shed which lies on the south eastern edge of the group of farm buildings. The extension would be a further 9 m in an easterly direction. The building will be the same width and height as the existing to which it would be attached. The building is partly open and partly enclosed by concrete panels and timber boarding with a fibre cement roof in a grey colour.
The Manx Electricity Authority recommend that there are underground cables or overhead lines in the vicinity of the site.
Department of Transport Highways and Traffic Division indicate that they have no objection to the application.
The proposed extension will be within the main group of farm buildings although extending it outward beyond the existing eastern profile of the barns. There will be no adverse visual impact from this, however and the proposal will comply with Environment Policy 15 which requires new buildings to be amongst others where possible and be of appropriate scale and appearance.
The Manx Electricity Authority raise issues relating to working practices around existing electrical supplies which is not a planning matter and should not be referred to in the planning decision notice.
The Department of Transport and the local authority are, by virtue of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2005, paragraph 6 (5) (c) and (d), considered "interested persons" and as such should be afforded party status.
