Rushen Parish Commissioners
No ObjectionAlthough there are no objections to this proposal it is noted that there has been no provision for a garage nor for stabling (it is believed that the owner has horses, which is presumably why he has bought a house with land attached). It is probable that these will be the subject of future applications.
