Consultation 2 Arbory Commissioners

Foster, Dawn

From: Clerk Arbory <[email protected]> Sent: 26 May 2020 13:18 To: DEFA, Planning Subject: A&R Commissioners' monthly planning comments

Planning Applications – the Arbory and Rushen Parish Commissioners considered the following applications at their May meeting.

• a) 20/00447/B The Coach House Ballagawne Road Ballabeg. Alterations to existing garage to create additional living space. The Commissioners had no comment to make with regard to this application.
• b) 20/00403/B Barn Ballachrink Farm Glen Road Colby. Conversion of existing barn for storage of motorhomes and storage units. The Commissioners recognised that a number of the farm buildings are no longer used for agricultural use and recognised that the remaining agricultural barn (the subject of this application) is a little incongruous. That said, the location is perhaps less busy now than it would have been when it was a fully functioning farm and the area is generally a quiet rural location. Despite seeing potential merit in the application, the Commissioners felt unable to support it without having more information about traffic management and the expected use of the proposed storage aspect of the application. The use of the in place very narrow Colby Glen Road by large motorhomes was also a concern for the Commissioners and were the application to be approved the Commissioners would request that a condition imposed requiring vehicles to access the site via the much wider road leading down from the Roundtable.
