Ramsey Town Commissioners have no objection to the principle but observe issues with bedroom natural light/ventilation and inconsistent plans; Highways Division do not oppose due to no traffic implications; DoT Drainage requires connection to drainage system per standards.
Key concern: proposed bedroom 1 having no natural light or ventilation
Ramsey Town Commissioners
No ObjectionWhilst there is no objection to the principle change of use to living accommodation, the layout as proposed would result in proposed bedroom 1 having no natural light or ventilation. It is considered therefore that the layout as proposed is not acceptable.; the plans appear to contradict the "single dwelling" statement.
