Rushen Commissioners Consultation Response

23rd January 2009.

The Secretary to the Planning Committee Office of Planning Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas Douglas.

RECEIVED ON 26 JAN 2009 DEPT OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND THE ENVIRONMENT

Dear Ms Callow

Rushen Commissioners have considered the following Planning Application and their views are:

a) 08/2246. Field adjoining the front of Surby Mount, Surby. Nicholas Saunders. In Principle application for erection of four dwellings. This application was not received in time for the Commissioners to consider it at their December Meeting. I note that it is before the Planning Committee on 30th, which seems rather quick compared to the time scale in the past. However, my Commissioners have now considered it. The land is zoned for only one dwelling in the 1999 Arbory and East Rushen Plan, which is still relevant until the Southern Area Plan has been finalised. They feel that four dwellings would be overdevelopment of the site. Any associated parking on this narrow road would cause problems as would the additional traffic on the roads in the area of Surby. The Commissioners have received copies of several letters which residents have sent to the Planning Department and are supportive of most of the comments made.

b) 08/2272. Sound Farm. Mr W Callister. Replacement of lean-to building with purpose built lean to barn. No objections.

c) 08/2296. 3 The Chase, Ballakillowey. Mr & Mrs Reeday. Dormer window in north east elevation to create shower room. No objections.

d) 09/0004. Chapel Cottage, Croit & Calw. A & M Jones. To replace aluminium top opening window frames with sliding sash windows in either wood or uPVC. No objections.

e) 09/0035. Ballavayre Farm, Ballakilpheric Road. Hintock Ltd. Porch and new uPVC sliding sash windows. No objections.

f) 09/0036. Scholaby Mill, Ballakilpheric Road. Hintock Ltd. Convert Mill into dwelling – Reserved Matters application. No objections.

g) Field 1388, Glendown Farm, Truggan Road. DH & JM Cain. In Principle. Application for erection of agricultural worker’s dwelling. No objections.

09/29

Yours sincerely

Gillian Kelly (Mrs) Clerk
