**Document:** Public Representations Email Chain **Application:** 05/01885/A — Approval in principle for the erection of a dwelling **Decision:** Refused **Decision Date:** 2005-11-24 **Parish:** Ballaugh **Document Type:** consultation / representation **Source:** https://planningportal.im/a/79277-ballaugh-part-field-224030-new-build-dwelling/documents/1454130 --- # Public Representations Email Chain From: Andrew Jessopp [mailto:acr@jessopp.freeserve.co.uk] Sent: 15 October 2005 17:23 To: Faragher, Paula Subject: p.a.'s 05/ 1885; 1890; 1892 Dear Paula My interest in these applications is on planning policy and I would appreciate my comments being brought to the attention of the planning committee. 1885 - Approval in principle for erection of dwelling, Loughdhoo, Ballaugh There appears to be no supporting evidence provided to explain why the planning committee should set aside planning policy on new dwellings in the countryside. I would suggest this application is deferred pending the submission of more information. 1890 - Approval in principle for residential development, Quines Hill, Braddan Contrary to what the application states, this site is not zoned for residential development in the Braddan Plan. This site is still zoned as Open Space (Agricultural) and no development should be considered until such time as the land is rezoned - if ever. I would remind the planning committee that: a) Quines Hill is not listed as a settlement by the department, therefore there should be a general presumption against development; b) the area is not connected, nor likely to be connected, to the IRIS scheme and c) the committee has been refusing an application at Clay Head for a single dwelling on unzoned land - even though the site is considered suitable in the Laxey & Lonan plan being taken to Tynwald this month. I would also suggest that this field - 'Springfield' is not suitable for development on drainage grounds alone. The proposal of a 'mini-estate' is totally incongruous with the area and would have a detrimental impact on the rural nature of Quines Hill. Furthermore, the proposed access to the site is close to bends in the road and I do not believe adequate site lines are available. The application should be refused. 1892 - Application for plots, roads, sewers for new residential development, Foxdale My only concern with this application is that the layout appears to impinge on the landscaping belt [map 2 and policy 3.50 (8)] and have arrangements been made to improve the A24 as per paragraph 3.50 (3) in the 1998 plan? Yours etc, Andrew Jessopp BSc (Hons) PMCS Seacliffe, Old Castletown Road, Ballaveare. Braddan. ## SPMC&E VIEWS ON APPLICATIONS from WEEKLY LIST 249 [Table omitted in markdown export] List dated 06/10/05 Date of this response 14/10/05 We wrote initially in the following terms: "No details of holding. Applicant lives in Bride. Is it to be another Agricultural Contractor's Depot? If so the Society will OBJECT to an unnecessary new building in the countryside." The site has now changed and the holding as shown amounts to about 5 acres. Is the applicant a farmer and can this reasonably be a viable holding, justifying such development in the countryside. The Society has STRONG DOUBTS. Past experience with 94/1109 etc. makes us very wary of applications such as this. [Table omitted in markdown export] Another no-hoper! There are no details supplied as to the 'structure' to be replaced but even so we can see no justification whatsoever for this proposal. The Society STRONGLY OBJECTS to what would clearly be a new dwelling in the countryside; c/f 05/0400 currently on Appeal. [Table omitted in markdown export] The draft Braddan Local Plan leads to a certain amount of uncertainty and speculation as regards the future zoning of land, especially around Quine's Hill, Port Soderick. As far as I can see this field IS NOT shown zoned residential on any of the Draft versions of the Plan. In any case The Plan has yet to be ratified and at the very least such proposals as this are premature. THE SOCIETY VERY STRONGLY OBJECTS to new residential development in the countryside, such as this proposal. [Table omitted in markdown export] The Society sincerely regrets the widespread Residential Zoning in Glen Auldyn, on the very badly documented NE Sector Plan. This site also has the of benefit of a valid A-i-P (02/1875) [Table omitted in markdown export] The Society sincerely regrets the widespread Residential Zoning in Glen Auldyn, on the very badly documented NE Sector Plan. This site also has the of benefit of a valid A-i-P (02/1873) [Table omitted in markdown export] See 93/1262 & 04/1205etc. The approved scheme for the restoration of this watermill is a very well thought-out one but on old and complex building such as this, snags are bound to occur from time to time. This application seeks to ameliorate some of these problems. The Society SUPPORTS it.
