Foraging Vintners, Breakwater Road, Port Erin, Isle Of Man, IM9 6ja
Permission was granted for the erection of an external deck seating area at Foraging Vintners on Breakwater Road, Port Erin. The site already had existing external seating associated with the building, and the application extended this provision with a new deck area. The main planning considerations were the visual and amenity impact of the deck on the surrounding area and highway safety, given the site's relationship with Breakwater Road and the adjacent fishermen's stores below. Both issues were assessed and found to be acceptable. The application was determined under delegated powers by the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture, with one condition attached to the permission.
The Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture approved the application on 29 December 2022. The key planning issues considered were visual and amenity impact and highway safety, both of which were found to be acceptable.
