Tel 01624803031 [email protected] Isle of Man Government, Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture, Planning and Building Control Directorate, Murray House, Mount Havelock, DOUGLAS, Isle of Man September 16, 2020 Dear Sir, Planning Application ref. 20/00958 Detached Building to provide staff facilities St John's Steel, Mines Road, Foxdaale Applicant: St John's Steel The Commissioners considered the above at their meeting on Monday last. The Commissioners consider that the building design does nothing to enhance the village centre. However, they recognise the purpose desired. Their position therefore is that they cannot support the plans as submitted. If the plans were to include adequate screening; say, in the form of a raised wall level, this would satisfy their concerns.

The Commissioners trust this is helpful. Please contact the undersigned if you require further information.
