Key concern: inadequate sight lines for emerging vehicles onto Glenfaba Road contrary to road safety
Peel Town Commissioners
ObjectionRECOMMENDED FOR REFUSAL.; The Commissioners are strongly of the opinion that this area of Peel, designated for 'Industrial Use' on the 1989 Peel Local Plan, should remain as such and not changed to residential use.
Department of Transport Highways Division

Department of Transport Highways Division
No CommentThe Highways Division does not wish to make further representation to the forthcoming review, beyond the response in the initial letter.
Department of Trade & Industry
ObjectionThe Department opposes this change as it would wish to conserve the stock of land available to industry.
