Subject: PA 22/01148/B - DEFA comments on method statement
Good morning
We have reviewed the information 'Braaid Road Technical Note August 2023 by Manx Wildlife Trust' in relation to conditions 3 & 4 for PA 22/01148/B for a precautionary method statement for breeding birds and common lizard that was uploaded to the Planning Map on 12.09.23. We are satisfied with the contents and have no further comments, except to note that the black and white scanned copy on the Planning Map do not enable the interpretation of the map at 'Appendix II: Planned Hedgerows'. The hazel hedge can be determined but not the mixed hedge. Perhaps a colour scanned copy should be provided. This would also benefit the viewing of the photographs.
Best wishes
Aline
I work Monday to Thursday inclusive.
