Planning Application 16/00286 Retaining wall Laxey Fire station
DEFA Fisheries has no objection to this proposal, but would request the following conditions:
- Any works to the watercourse bank and channel are restricted to the period July to September (inclusive)
- Works are conducted according to written method statements agreed in advance with the Inland Fisheries Section of the Fisheries Directorate, DEFA.
It is likely that electrofishing will be required in order to relocate fish prior to the works within the river. DEFA fisheries have worked collaboratively with the applicant on previous works in this section of river and a further site visit will be carried out should the proposal be granted planning approval.
