Planning Circular 6/91 (Braddan Parish District Local Plan Written Statement)
The adopted plan does not zone the site for residential development. Officer noted West Baldwin not recognised as village extension; proposal contrary as unzoned rural land. No weight to draft Braddan Plan (2001/2003) identifying site as suitable, as it was abandoned.
Planning Circular 1/88 Residential Housing in the Country
Restricts countryside housing except agricultural needs; para 3: remaining areas 'intended to remain substantially free from development'; para 6: discourage except viable agricultural holdings. Site unzoned, no agricultural justification; previous refusals applied this strictly.
The Commissioners would recommend to the Planning Committee that the amended application be approved.
Do not oppose subject to the imposition of sight lines condition of 2 metres by 36 metres at the proposed access with the B22.
No objection, provided there is no development within 8 metres of the watercourse.
On balance I am not opposed to the principle of a suitably designed single dwelling.
