Three consultees responded to application 06/01785/C for removal of agricultural tie: Mr Jessopp conditionally supports if marketing evidence provided, SPMC&E objects due to weak case and non-compliance with original condition, Lezayre Parish Commissioners approved by majority.
Key concern: non-compliance with Condition 8 of original consent
Mr Jessopp
Conditional No ObjectionIf evidence could be been provided to demonstrate that an attempt has been made to market this property with the tie and no farm workers in the area have come forward to express an interest than I would be satisfied there is no longer a demand for the tie.
Society for the Preservation of the Manx Countryside and Environment
