Dear Sirs

Planning Application 15/00345/A
Field no. 312711 Balladoyne Farm Main Road St John’s
Approval in principle for construction of a temporary access road
for construction traffic.

I am part owner of the site shown in blue and object to the above
proposals on the grounds that the access shown does not show adequate
sightlines to Main Road and there is a significant lack of information
contained in the application concerning access and safety of the
proposed access. No statement has been submitted to explain how the
access would be managed or a traffic study to show the impact on the
traffic on this main arterial route.

The plans are not based on a topographical survey of the site and
indicate that no trees will be affected when there are a significant
number of trees on the access route shown.

The proposals do not show adequate detail to determine the application.

Sightlines would also be over third party land if they were achievable at
all. There are trees and hedgerows in the vicinity of the access shown
which would adversely affect the setting of Tynwald if these were
removed. No other traffic management system has been detailed that
shows compliance with the requirements of the Highways Department
in this situation.

The application lacks detail.

The application forms are incorrect as trees will clearly be affected by
the proposal and are within the vicinity of the site but are not shown.

For the above reasons I would respectfully request the application be
refused.

Yours faithfully

Mark Pearce
