The Residential Proposal Sites

The Proposals Map (Map 3) and Inset Maps identify specific numbered sites for development. It is good practice for Proposal Sites to be accompanied by Development Briefs where appropriate. Briefs provide guidance to applicants and help in the development management process when applications are considered, thus allowing for a more straightforward and quicker application process overall. They can contribute to the success of the final development scheme on the ground.

Some numbered sites do not have associated Development Briefs. Development on such sites shall be in accordance with Residential Proposal 2 (see Table 19 below).

The Residential Proposal Sites (with Development Briefs) listed below are listed in the order of the settlement hierarchy starting with Douglas. Sites are set out under the name of the closest settlement rather than by Local Authority area. The Proposal Sites which are General Allocations as opposed to Strategic Reserves, have been identified in this final Plan by 'g' placed at the end of the original number. All of the sites identified by a 'g' number shall be taken to be within the settlement boundary and this is depicted on the Maps. Strategic Reserves all have the letter 's' placed at the end of their original site number. Until released, they remain outside of the settlement boundary for the purposes of this plan.

Residential Proposal 1

Development of the proposed (allocated) sites shall be undertaken in accordance with the proposed use marked on the Maps, any final Development Briefs as well as any baseline requirements set out in the Plan (see Residential Proposal 2).

The Sites

Site DBH002g and BH030g are allocated in the Plan for Predominantly Residential use

Site Number	Site Name	Site Size	See Maps
DBH002g and BH030g	Land south of Ballafletcher Road, and east of Braddan Road	Upper part 2.32 ha, Lower part 30.23 ha	3, 4 and 8

Inquiry Report comment (para. 266)
A development brief for these sites should recognise the potential for Site DBH002g to be developed in isolation.

Development Brief

1. The site shall be allocated for predominantly residential use.

2. Together, these two sites form an area contained by Ballafletcher Road; Braddan Cemetery and Braddan Road; a registered tree belt north of Douglas Rugby Club; and the Tromode Woods housing estate. The sites are close to existing services and public transport links. Although this land is mostly well contained, development would have some visual impact and should be sensitively designed to minimise this. Development should also minimise any impact on registered trees, and mitigate any tree loss by replacement tree planting.

3. Although it is acknowledged that the sites are in separate ownership, they should be the subject of a comprehensive Masterplan, which will include a phasing strategy. The two sites may be developed at different times, but the development of one should not prejudice the subsequent development of the other. The Masterplan should provide for the possibility of an eventual vehicular access between Ballafletcher Road and Braddan Road, through the proposed development; and should provide for pedestrian and cycle routes, so as to promote active travel.

4. There are various access points that could be used. However, until a detailed assessment has been undertaken these options cannot be fully appraised and compared. The detailed assessment should also consider whether bus access can be delivered through the
