The site represents a number of parcels of land, the principal one which contains the buildings is located on the western side of the B41 and accommodates the farm house - a large imposing dwelling which is in the process of renovation and extension, a range of stone barns which have permission for ancillary or tourist accommodation and more modern farm sheds.

REPRESENTATIONS
Malew Parish Commissioners indicate that they have no objection to the application
Manx Electricity Authority recommend consultation regarding existing electricity supplies on the site. This concerns working practices around the proposed building which should be addressed by the applicant outwith the planning process and as such this should not be referred to in the planning decision notice.
The proposed relocation of the building will result in a much better environment and outlook for those in the tourist/ancillary accommodation with little visual change as viewed from the public highway as there is vegetation between the road and the buildings which mitigate the impact of the structures on the site.
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.
The Manx Electricity Authority raise issues regarding working practices around existing supplies, which are not material planning considerations and as such the MEA should not be afforded party status in this instance.
