The site is currently being developed with housing under the provisions of 09/00521/B. The site is part of a larger area designated as being Predominantly Residential use by the Peel Local Plan (Planning Circular 6/89). ### Proposal This application seeks approval for the erection of 7 dwellings on plots A37 to A43. The application proposes relatively minor alterations to the approved development with the external finishes of five of the dwellings being altered to include the use of more Manx stone. The rear boundaries of plots A37 and A38 would be amended by removing part of the rear access lane resulting in larger rear gardens and better security. ## Planning History The wider site has been the subject of a previous application, 06/01393/A which sought approval in principle for the residential development of Fields311825, 311826, 311827, 314444 and 315097, Ballawattleworth Farm in accordance with the densities and indicative highway layout shown on the enclosed master plan. This application proposed a total of 458 dwellings. The Planning Committee resolved to refuse this application. PA09/00521/B sought approval for a residential development of 43 dwellings including roads, drainage infrastructure and public open space. This was refused by the Planning Committee but was approved at appeal. PA09/00883/R sought retrospective approval for the temporary storage of construction materials from housing development site, field 315097, adjacent to housing development under construction (Reayrt Ny Keylley). This was refused by the Planning Committee. ### Planning Status The site is identified within the Peel Local Plan as being Proposed Residential. Within the Isle of Man Strategic Plan the following policies are considered relevant to the determination of this application: Strategic Policy 3, which states: "Proposals for development must ensure that the individual character of our towns and villages is protected or enhanced by: - (a) avoiding coalescence and maintaining adequate physical separation between settlements; and - (b) having regard in the design of new development to the use of local materials and character." Strategic Policy 5, which states: "New development, including individual buildings, should be designed so as to make a positive contribution to the environment of the Island. In appropriate cases the Department will require planning applications to be supported by a Design Statement which will be required to take account of the Strategic Aim and Policies." General Policy 2; Environmental Policy 42, which states: "New development in existing settlements must be designed to take account of the particular character and identity, in terms of buildings and landscape features of the immediate locality. Inappropriate backland development, and the removal of open or green spaces which contribute to the visual amenity and sense of place of a particular area will not be permitted. Those open or green spaces which are to be preserved will be identified in Area Plans." ### Representations The Highways Division does not object to this application. Peel Town Commissioners do not object to this application. ### Assessment The amendments proposed to the approved development represent improvements to the visual appearance of the dwellings in question and improved amenity and security to the dwellings to be built on plots A37 and A38. It is recommended that this application be approved. It is considered that the following parties, who submitted comments, accord with the requirements of Planning Circular 1/06 and are therefore, afforded Interested Party Status: Peel Town Commissioners The Department of Transport Highways and Traffic Division is now part of the Department of Infrastructure of which the planning authority is part. As such, the Highways and Traffic Division cannot be afforded party status in this instance. **Recommendation** **Recommended Decision:** Permitted **Date of Recommendation:** 07.04.2010 **Conditions and Notes for Approval / Reasons and Notes for Refusal** **C : Conditions for approval** **N : Notes attached to conditions** **R : Reasons for refusal** **O : Notes attached to refusals** C 1.
