The application states that the surface water from the proposed development is to be discharged to the "existing drainage".

Dear Miss Callow

08/01691/B Erection of front porch at Bwaane, formerly Hilly Dene, Old Laxey Hill, Laxey, IM4 7DA.

Further to a meeting of Laxey Village Commissioners on Wednesday 17th September 2008, I am to inform you that the Board recommends refusal of the planning application, on the grounds stated below.

The Board found the plans deficient in detail to the extent that they were unable to make an informed decision about the proposals contained therein, and request submission of a more satisfactory plan.

Yours sincerely

Peter Hill
Deputy Clerk to the Board of Laxey Village Commissioners.
