Date: 16 December 2004 Dear Miss Callow Subject: Planning List 16th December 2004 The Inland Fisheries Section of the Department of Agriculture Fisheries and Forestry would like to comment as follows:-

04/02494/A

Approval in principle for the erection of a dwelling on part of field 430098, County Series, Field 98, Main Road, Foxdale

The development must be a minimum distance of 8 metres from any nearby watercourse or pond to minimise the risk of pollution and damage to riparian habitat.

04/02509/B

Alterations and extension to create additional living accommodation, Cooil Shellagh, Douglas Road

The development must be a minimum distance of 8 metres from any nearby watercourse to minimise the risk of pollution and damage to riparian habitat. Measures must be in place during construction to avoid run off entering any nearby watercourse.

04/02486/B

Erection of an extension with balcony above on rear elevation, Old Hall, Patrick Corner, Patrick Village

This property is located near to a tributary stream which runs into the River Neb. To minimise the risk of pollution to the river and to avoid bankside erosion and loss of habitat, there must be no development within 8 metres of the watercourse. Measures must be in place during construction works to safeguard the water course from run-off and sedimentation.

Yours sincerely

Karen McHarg
