On the site presently sits a small wooden kiosk from which teas, coffees, hot snacks and ice cream are served when the kiosk is open. The building has wooden shutters which seal the building when it is not operational. #### Planning Status And Relevant Policies The site lies within in an area designated on the Peel Local Plan as Public Open Space. #### Planning History There have been no planning applications previously submitted in respect of this site. #### The Proposal [Table omitted in markdown export] Proposed now is the replacement of the existing kiosk with a cavity-walled building attached to the adjacent public toilets. The new building will be flat roofed with overhanging parapet matching the existing adjacent building and finished in render with a concrete roof. ### Representations Society for the Preservation of the Manx Countryside and the Environment raise no objection to the application. Peel Town Commissioners indicate that they have no objection to the application. Manx National Heritage comment as custodians of Peel Castle and comment on the design of the extension and conclude that its impact will not be significant. Department of Transport Highways and Traffic Division indicate that they have no objection to the application. ### Assessment The creation of larger and more substantial catering facilities in this position which is popular in the summer months and when there are events going on in the bay should be encouraged and there is no adverse visual impact from extending the toilet building as is proposed. ### 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. Society for the Preservation of the Manx Countryside and the Environment is not directly affected by the proposal and as such should not be afforded party status in this instance. Manx National Heritage represent a statutory authority and raise matters which are material planning considerations and as such should be afforded party status in this instance. ### Recommendation Recommended Decision: Permitted Date of Recommendation: 26.11.2007 ### 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.
