Objection Consultee : IOM Water Authority Notes: Objection 2207.08 Objection withdrawn after discussions with the Client. ### Officer's Report ### The Site The site represents field which lies immediately to the west of the Cordeman Lane, which runs north from the Bayrauyr which links St. Mark's with the Ballamodha (A3). Also defined incompletely in blue is other land which is associated with the application and farmed by the applicant. ### Planning Status The site lies within an area designated on the Isle of Man Planning Scheme (Development Plan) Order 1982 as white land, that is, not designated for development. ## Planning History There have been numerous applications submitted in respect of this site: PA 02/0091 - creation of hardstanding - permitted PA 02/2413 - erection of implement store with wc - permitted PA 04/2285 - erection of farm shop - permitted on appeal PA 06/0303 - erection of agricultural buildings - permitted PA 06/0830 - erection of two agricultural worker's dwellings - refused PA 06/1320 - erection of farm worker's dwelling - permitted on appeal PA 08/0770 - amendments to farm dwelling - permitted ### The Proposal Now proposed is the erection of an agricultural building - amending the permission already granted by moving the building around 45 m to the east and of the same size, height and appearance, that is 9.3 m wide and 27.3 m long and 6.2 m in height, finished in profiled sheeting. ### Representations Isle of Man Water Authority recommend that there is a water main which will be affected by the proposed development. The applicant's agent has been advised of this. Following discussions, the Water Authority have withdrawn their objection. Malew Parish Commissioners have withdrawn their earlier concerns and now have no objection to the application. ### Assessment The building already has permission some 45 m to the west and the visual impact from the change in the location is not significant. There is a dwelling opposite the new site, a dwelling which is not in the ownership of the applicant. However, access to the farm group which is being created, is right next to this dwelling and as such the impact of the barn, closer to the dwelling, is not unacceptable. The barn will be 35 m to the north and there is a farm shop alongside which has approval. ### Party Status The Department of Transport and the local authority are, by virtue of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2005, paragraph 6 (5) (c) and (d), considered "interested persons" and as such should be afforded party status. Isle of Man Water Authority raise an issue which is a material planning consideration as the water main will be directly affected by the proposed development and as such the Isle of Man Water Authority should be afforded party status in this instance. ### Recommendation Recommended Decision: Permitted Date of Recommendation: 09.10.2008 ### Conditions and Notes for Approval / Reasons and Notes for Refusal C : Conditions for approval N : Notes attached to conditions R : Reasons for refusal - : Notes attached to refusals C 1.
