This application sought permission to change the use of land at Cronk Y Cliwe, adjacent to Ballagarraghyn Coast Road in Jurby, to host an additional six motocross events on a permanent basis. The Planning Committee approved the application in October 2008, with five conditions attached to the permission. The case officer had recommended approval. During the officer's site visit, tyre tracks on the foreshore and beach indicated that motocross activity had already been taking place in the area, and it was noted that access between the foreshore and the application site was relatively straightforward.
The Planning Committee approved the application on 16 October 2008. The officer also recommended approval. The decision permits the site to host six additional motocross events on a permanent basis.
