Key concern: Water supply capacity limitations at Glencrutchery treatment works
IoM Water Authority
Conditional No ObjectionThe concern is related to the ability of the existing works to produce water to the appropriate EU water quality standards.; The Authority does consider the application to be premature, and the Authority does confirm its objection for the reasons set out above.
Conditions requested: No construction of the proposed dwellings shall commence until such time as the Isle of Man Water Authority gives notice in writing to the Committee that the Authority will within six months of the date of such notice have the capacity to provide to the proposed dwellings a supply of wholesome water sufficient for the domestic purposes of the proposed dwellings.; Applicant must contact the Authority to ensure that a connection is obtained for water supply purposes, or an amendment to the existing supply under the terms of the Water Supply Byelaws.
Architectural Liaison Officer
ObjectionSatellite car parks create anonymity for offenders.; Potential offenders utilising the said footpaths would not be recognised as such, and thus their anonymity is enhanced.
Architectural Liaison Officer
ObjectionThe proposed amendments to the car parking areas do not address my concerns regarding the inherent vulnerability of vehicles parked within these areas.; I would therefore wish to continue the objection to planning permission being granted.
Conditions requested: Area must be effectively illuminated during the hours of darkness; Earth bank should be densely planted with hostile planting (maximum mature height of not greater than one metre)
Department of Transport Highways Division
Conditional No ObjectionNo adverse traffic impacts, subject to the imposition of the following conditions.
Conditions requested: No other works shall be commenced on site until the estate road junction with the adopted highway, including where required visibility splays, has been set out and established.; No dwelling on the site shall be occupied until the estate road has been constructed to at least base course level and adequately lit.; No dwelling on the site shall be occupied until the parking facilities and vehicular access(es) have been completed.; No works shall be commenced on the penultimate dwelling on the site until the estate road has been completed.; On completion, the proposed development will become a Home Zone. Home Zone features at the access point(s) shall be constructed.; Intersecting barriers shall be incorporated into footpaths.
