Dear Sirs

Please find below Braddan Commissioners' comments on the latest planning applications for your Committee.

The Commissioners have no objection to the following applications:

PA14 00064 B - Mr and Mrs James Simpson - Demolition and replacement of existing dwelling - Amendments to PA113 00125 B - Ballacaroon Farm West Baldwin Road Mount Rule PA14 00071 B - Geraldine Kingston - Replacement of existing glazed conservatory roof with slate/tiles - Ballaveare Farm Old Castletown Road Port Soderick PA14 00073 B - Mr Howard Callow - Replacement of existing glazed conservatory roof with tiles - 10 Ashfield venue Union Mills PA14 00119 B - Mrs Joyce Rhodes - Erection of a sun lounge extension (retrospective) - The Swallows Quines Hill Port Soderick PA14 00122 - Mr & Mrs H Minay - Erection of a garage and sun room extension - Eary Ween, East Baldwin, Braddan PA14 00144 - Corlett Sons & Cowley Ltd - Erection of an industrial unit to replace existing structure - Grain store & warehouse, Corletts Yard, Union Mills

The Commissioners wish to object to the following applications:

PA14 00059 B - Mr and Mrs K Minay - Installation of fencing to dwelling - 39 Hollin Bank Braddan Whilst the Commissioners have no issues with the fencing to the rear of the property, they do have a real concern over the visibility issues caused by the proposed fencing at the front. They understand that there are covenants on the land imposed by the developer relating to the hedge heights (which the Commissioners cannot enforce) but this is indicative of the desire of the developer, and they would assuming the Planners, to keep the area open. This application contradicts a previous approach to the Commissioners when the applicant objected to the hedge height of a neighbouring property which created a visibility problem.

PA14 00068 B - Department of Health - Creation of an over flow car park including an exit only road on to Braddan Road - Land adjacent to Leece Lodge Strang Braddan The Commissioners are concerned that the proposal creates a road safety issue and should have been included in the previous planning application for the development at Leece Lodge if that building creates the need for extra parking. They would also like to see the visual impact being properly addressed.

PA14 00086 D - Marshall Cryer Architects - Erection of advertising signage - Old School House Cronkbourne Braddan The Commissioners response to this application is in two parts. First they have no objection to the triangular sign which displays the names of the three businesses. However they do feel that the separate flat sign is over intensive and may cause visibility problems.

The Commissioners wish to comment on the following application:

PA14 0093 D - H Richmond Ltd - Erection of illuminated signage - Land on Roadside and within Riley Garden Centre, Robinsons and Eden Business Park Cooil Road Braddan</[email protected]>

The Commissioners are concerned about the number of signs that the applicant wishes to install. Whilst the map shows that the sightlines will not be affected by Sign C, the photograph with the sign indicated on it, does call that statement into question.

Yours faithfully

Gill Corlett
