SPMC&E objects to the application citing overdevelopment beyond original minimalistic approval; Drainage Division has no objection subject to surface water drainage conditions; Malew Parish Commissioners do not object; Fire Service recommends applicant consult on fire safety measures.
Key concern: overdevelopment beyond original minimalistic one-bedroom dwelling approval
Society for the Preservation of the Manx Countryside & Environment
ObjectionThe original approval for this was for a minimalistic, one bed-roomed dwelling and the Society strongly feels that this is all that should have been allowed.; This structure appears never to have had residential status, being more of a Summerhouse or Playroom.; This present scheme is perhaps a bit more compact but the Society is still of the opinion expressed earlier. We therefore OBJECT.
