Officer's Report
An agricultural shed is proposed on the western site of the Starvey Road at Bwoaillieecowle. The building would be set back from the Starvey Road. A new entrance is proposed to the site from the highway close to the property Dreemlang. The access will in part follow an existing field boundary between Fields 657 and 1156.
The new splay would be visible from the highway but the building itself would be largely hidden when viewed from the Starvey Road. It would however be visible from the road connecting Cronk Y Voddy with the Coast Road. The planting proposed may help to soften this impact.
History
PA 03/1318 Erection of farm dwelling, agricultural shed and access road to replace former dwelling and outbuildings, Bwoaillieecowle. Refused at Review.
The Planning indicated that it may be persuaded to permit an agricultural building if it could be sited away from the ecologically sensitive area identified by DAFF.
Need? 700 head of cattle in ownership Ballavaish - 350 on site plus 100 in the rented shed nearby until his shed is available. ( 350 acres) Mount Murray - 250 head The Wildlife Office is content with the realignment. MNH want an archaeological condition attached and planting should be native species. The Commissioners are concerned about the impact on the area and that the acreage is not sufficient to justify the building.
