I have the honour to report that on 27 June 2010 I made an inspection of the site of the above development. This report contains a description of the site and its surroundings, my appraisal of the planning considerations relating to the development, and a recommendation of the decision which might be made in the case. 2. The applications concern Planning Consent for the erection of one set of pedestal mounted binoculars (10/00560/GB); Advertisement consent for the erection of three information panels (10/00490/D); and Registered Building Consent for both parts of the proposal (10/00491/CON and 10/00561/CON). ## The Site And Its Surroundings 3. The application site is a level platform approximately 8m long by 5m built on the seaward side of an ornamental stone arch which stands across Marine Drive. The platform enables pedestrians to have a view along the coast in each direction, and out to sea. It stands high above sea level. There is a stone wall around three sides of the platform, the area inside being tarmaced. The arch stands at the south western end of the platform. The site is roughly rectangular, with a small re-entrant wall about half way along its length. ## The Proposed Development 4. It is proposed to install a set of pedestal mounted binoculars on the platform, close to its seaward side, in the re-entrant corner. Along the north eastern side of the platform three interpretive boards, 600mm high, and 1000mm wide would each be mounted on a single square post. The material points are: 5. Marine drive is one of the best locations on the island for spotting a large variety of marine wildlife. It is an excellent area for bird spotting, as well as for marine mammals. In the winter, it is the best area on the island for seeing large groups of bottlenose dolphins, sometimes in groups over 100. In spring Marine Drive sees the first arrival of the Risso's dolphins and in the autumn you can see Minke whales. Throughout the year harbour porpoise and grey seal are common at this spot. The area is popular with residents and tourists, who use the area for walking. However there is currently no interpretation material at the site and indeed many people are unaware of the marine wildlife that can be seen just in front of them. The information boards are intended to draw people's attention to the sea and air, encouraging them to look for wildlife and providing information on the species they might see. The binoculars are intended to further encourage them to look and to make it easier for them to find animals, making their visit more rewarding. Thus the main purpose of the installation of both the signs and binoculars is public awareness and education as to the rich marine environment we live in. ## Advice From The Planning Authority The material points are: 6. The site is in an area designated as open space and an area for nature conservation in the Braddan Parish District local Plan. It is outside an area zoned for development, and thus General Policy 3 of the Strategic Plan applies. This presumes against development except in specified circumstances, which include "(h) building or works required for the interpretation of the countryside" The Gateway was a registered building. Under Environment Policy 32 extensions or alterations to a registered building which would affect detrimentally its character will not be permitted. There were no traffic management, parking or road safety implications. ### Braddan Commissioners 7. Recommend approval. ### Inspector'S Conclusions 8. Planning Policy Statement 1 / 01 sets out the policy applicable to alterations to Registered Buildings. It advises that in judging the effect of any proposal it is essential to have assessed the elements that make up the special interest of the building. Whilst no information has been given of what makes up the special interest of the Gateway, one can confidently conclude that the platform is a secondary part of the building, and that the real interest lies in the archway itself. The proposed boards and the binoculars are proposed to be well removed from this part of the building. They are small in comparison to the mass of the building, and would have little impact upon its appreciation by the public. Furthermore, any harm which might arise to the setting of the building would be greatly outweighed by the public benefit of the proposals, which would enhance most people's visit to this part of the coast. 9. I recommend that the Application be approved, subject to the following conditions: 1 The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice; 2 The binocular stand shall be removed from the site at any time that the binoculars shall have been inoperative for longer than six months. 3 In the event that the interpretive notices have been absent from their stands for more than six months, the stands shall be removed from the site.
