Kirby Farm is located adjacent to Vicarage Road in Braddan. The proposed development comprises of the erection of an electrical sub-station and switch room on the application site. #### Planning History Whilst the application site and surrounding area has been the subject of previous planning application I do not consider any of these to be specifically relevant to the assessment of this current planning application. #### Representations Braddan Parish Commissioners recommend that the planning application be approved. ## Planning Policy The application site is within the area covered by the Braddan District Local Plan. There are issues of zoning or policies that I consider to be relevant to the assessment of this planning application. ## Assessment I consider the proposed development to be relatively modest in comparison to the overall level of built development within Kirby Farm. I can see no adverse impact on public amenity, private amenity or highway safety arising from the proposal. I recommend that the planning application be approved. ## Party Status I consider that the following parties that made representations to the planning application meet the criteria of Government Circular 1/06 and should be afforded interested party status: Braddan Parish Commissioners. ### Recommendation Recommended Decision: Permitted Date of Recommendation: 07.04.2006 ### 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.
