# Director of Planning Initial Comments

## Press List – 8th March 2007 [Table omitted in markdown export] ### Director of Planning & Building Control’s Initial Comments [Table omitted in markdown export] Planning Committee may want to know what other sites are proposed for remainder of the Island – presumably 1 in north query 1 in west. [Table omitted in markdown export] If approving should be restricted to Mr Bell with condition if he ceases to occupy Ballagawne or run the business the use must cease and the site be reinstated to grassland. Also no other use than by Mr Bell’s company. [Table omitted in markdown export] Need to condition use – “community use” too wide. [Table omitted in markdown export] - Density? – comparable with surrounding - Cramped and dominated by cars - No children’s Play Space - Affordable housing required - Dormer out of keeping with barn appearance - Alternative form of glazing more appropriate If principle acceptable then ok, but porch Overlarge and base should be stone to match not render. [Table omitted in markdown export]
