Dear Jason,

We have consulted with our Client (the Applicant) and they have confirmed that the mention of solar powered lighting for the frieze in their Planning Statement was erroneous. I have attached a revised statement omitting the mention of lighting and would be grateful if this could be substituted for the original statement provided with the application. If you require hard copies to be submitted or a more formal letter of response please let me know and I will drop them round.

Regards,

Revised 19 October 2020

Proposed Frieze At the Smelt Fort Island Road Langness IM9 1TZ

THE APPLICANT’S PLANNING STATEMENT

This is the detailed planning application for the erection of a frieze depicting Derbyhaven Bay, which is to be mounted onto a concrete plinth.

The Applicant has formed a corporate vehicle called Nature Vannin to draw an interest in and to protect the Isle of Man’s natural environment and its native wildlife. The goal is to align with the nation’s biosphere and biodiversity aspirations, promoting different ways of interacting with and importantly safeguarding the Isle of Man’s natural heritage for future generations.

The frieze shows all the iconic landmarks of Derbyhaven and Fort Island – the fort, the chapel, the harbour breakwater, lighthouse, Hango Broogh and the pale-bellied brent geese.

The Brent Goose is a small dark goose, a familiar sight around the estuaries and sea loughs on the Isle of Man and Northern Ireland. They can be seen from September through to April. These birds breed in the Canadian High Arctic and annually undergo the perilous migration to this region, where virtually the entire population winters. The geese feed primarily on vegetation growing on intertidal mudflats, such as eelgrass and various algae.

Langness is a perfect haven for these magnificent geese and it is therefore highly appropriate that the frieze is placed at the entrance to Langness peninsula, as a constant reminder that we need to protect our natural heritage for now and future generations. It demonstrates our commitment and support to protecting the wildlife that graces our shores for eight months of the year.

By locating the frieze at the Smelt junction of Fort Island Road and Langness Road, the Applicant would like to make it a gateway feature for those entering the Langness peninsula, raising awareness of the natural and cultural heritage of Derbyhaven and Langness.
