The application proposes the replacement of hangar doors with cladding. The existing metal sheeting hanger doors will be replaced with cladding which also includes the installation of new hanger door, 5 metres in width and height. The remaining of the southeast elevation will be clad mostly with coloured cladding, except for four translucent sheeting to allow natural light into the unit. All cladding to be Goose wing grey, whilst the hanger door would be finished with a Poppy red colour.
Representations
The Authority has received no privately written representations objecting to the application.
Assessment
The proposed new hanger door and cladding is the standard type of cladding found on a number of other hangers within Jurby Industrial Estate. Also the colour of the proposal would also match a number of units which have already benefited from similar developments, which have resulted in these units to be used for a more modern working environment.
It is considered the proposal would improve the appearance of the existing hanger and therefore improve the appearance of the industrial estate as a whole.
Recommendation
In conclusion, it is recommended that the planning application be approved on the planning policy grounds that the proposed development would be acceptable to the Isle of Man Strategic Plan (June 2007).
