Dear Sir/Madam

ON APPEAL: PA07/2303/A – Heritage Homes Ltd – Approval in principle for the development of Residential, Industrial and Open Space uses, Fields 134278, 134279, 134280, 134281, 134282, 134283, 134284, 134288 & 134289 Between Lezayre Road and the Sulby River and the West of the Auldyn River Ramsey & Lezayre, Isle of Man.

I refer to the recent appeal hearing in respect of the above planning application.

In accordance with the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2005, I am enclosing herewith a copy of the report of the person appointed to hear this appeal.

The Minister has considered the report, concurs generally with the appointed person’s conclusions, and accepts the recommendation that the appeal should be dismissed. Accordingly he has directed that the Planning Committee’s decision to refuse permission should be confirmed, albeit for only the single reason relating to access which is summarised in paragraph 74 of the report. Formal notice of this decision is enclosed herewith.

The Minister also indicated that his decision is without prejudice to a further application which includes a Transport Assessment and details of the arrangements for accessing the site. He also recommended that, during the preparation of such an application, there should be consultation with the appropriate planning officer to discuss the inclusion, or otherwise, of Field 134281.

Yours faithfully  Chief Executive Please see over for circulation list/...
