General Policy 2
Requires development to respect site/surroundings in siting/layout/scale/design, provide safe/convenient access and adequate parking/servicing/manoeuvring (h/i), and not prejudice adjoining land (k). Officer found principle acceptable, design compatible with industrial character/street scene, no amenity impacts, but failed on adequate parking and potential prejudice to adjoining units' allocated parking.
Transport Policy 7
Requires parking in accordance with Appendix 7 standards (light industrial: 1 space/30sqm nett). Proposal provides 0 spaces for 640sqm (needs 21); Highways objected; off-site reliance unacceptable as spaces allocated elsewhere; prior site approvals complied.
Community Policy 10
Requires proper access for fire vehicles and adequate water supplies. Initially objected due to insufficient water/pressure; amended with 9000 gallon underground tank deemed mitigating by Fire Officer.
no objection
movement of the building addresses previous concerns
9000 gallon water tank provides mitigation despite ageing infrastructure
Multiple consultees responded to planning application 19/00656/B for 4 industrial units at Jurby Industrial Estate, with initial objections from Fire Service and Highways over water supply and parking, later mitigated by applicant proposals leading to Fire Service acceptance; DEFA raised tree and biodiversity concerns, while Parish had no objection.
Key concern: insufficient water supplies for firefighting
Isle of Man Fire & Rescue Service
ObjectionThe Fire Safety Department wish to object to this application as the industrial estate has been identified as having insufficient water supplies for the fire risk of the existing units.; We would recommend that the water infrastructure is reviewed and enhanced prior to any further development in this area.
Isle of Man Fire & Rescue Service
Conditional No ObjectionWhilst this does not address the wider issues of the current poor water supplies for firefighting in the area it does provide some mitigation in this instance.
Conditions requested: developer has agreed to install a 9000 gallon water tank in close proximity to the building to provide additional water supplies
DoI Highway Services
ObjectionTherefore, until the car park is increased to 12 spaces highways are unable to support the application.; Recommendation: OBJECT
Conditions requested: car park is increased to 12 spaces; each unit has at least 3 spaces each
DEFA Arboricultural Officer
Conditional No ObjectionGiven the impact that this development will have on this established copse of trees I recommend that you request a landscaping plan that will mitigate for the tree loss in this area.; I recommend that the agent engages the services of experienced arboriculturist or landscape design expert.
Conditions requested: request a landscaping plan that will mitigate for the tree loss in this area; smaller number of larger amenity trees are planted, preferably near the main estate road
DEFA Biodiversity
Conditional No ObjectionThe location of the proposed industrial building was identified as species rich semi-improved grassland in the Phase 1 Habitat Survey undertaken in August 1992.; this type of grassland type was recorded in only 633.96 ha, just 1.1% of the land area of the Isle of Man.
Conditions requested: condition is secured to ensure that the species rich grassland is translocated to a suitable receptor site within the Jurby Industrial Estate
