PROPOSAL: Proposed is the erection of a two storey vehicle exhibition building located within the former Mill Field, to the south west of the main house, behind Mill Cottage and adjacent to Glen Auldyn Road. The new facility will be accessed via a single lane that exits to the south west on to the Glen Auldyn Road.
The Ramsey Commissioners:- "No Objection" The Authority has received no privately written representations objecting to the application.
As the property is a Registered Building (RB 168) the content of this application has been considered with particular regard to POLICY RB/5 ALTERATIONS AND EXTENSIONS as set out within Planning Policy Statement 1/01- Policy and Guidance Notes for the Conservation of the Historic Environment of the Isle of Man.
The purpose of the proposed is to store the vintage collection of motor cars and motor cycles in a manner more accessible to the public and enthusiasts alike as at present, it is not possible to walk fully around and therefore fully appreciate the vehicles. The current storage of the historic vehicles is
within relatively recent single storey flat roofed garages of limited architectural interest. It is understood that for the time being at least, these will be retained for use as workshops for the vintage motorcycles and cars.
The two storey building is constructed in rendered blockwork with a natural blue/black slate roof and softwood double glazed windows. The south facing frontage, which in this case faces up the slope away from the remainder of existing buildings, is finished in the Manx stone in order to reflect those existing buildings beyond.
Given the importance of the collection of these vehicles to the history of Milntown, the location of the new building, and its design and massing, it is not considered to be detrimental to the character of the Registered Building. The proposals are therefore considered acceptable.
It is considered that the following meet the criteria of Government Circular 1/06 and should be afforded interested party status:
