Peel Town Commissioners
ObjectionAfter full consideration the Commissioners wish to register their objection to this application citing concerns over the access to the development with its attendant increase in vehicular traffic up and down a narrow lane. The Commissioners own or share the boundary hedge on Battery Road and object to any proposed works to widen the road
Advisory Council
ObjectionWe are doubtful that planning conditions could successfully protect them from that happening other than say a limitation to one modest dwelling on the site as opposed to what is currently proposed.; urban development of Peel is progressing at a great rate at the moment
Conditions requested: limitation to one modest dwelling on the site
Department of Transport Highways Division
ObjectionObjection: The application does not show the sight lines necessary to permit vehicles to emerge safely onto Battery Road, contrary to the interests of road safety.
Manx National Heritage
ObjectionSeveral previous applications on the Peel Headlands, including hotel developments, have been refused on these grounds.; because the quarry lies on private land, its full ecological value has never been investigated.
