Key concern: creating a precedent to create residential properties in a countryside area not zoned for development
Maughold Parish Commissioners
ObjectionCommissioners do not feel the shed is worthy of converting it into Accommodation - this would be creating a precedent to create residential properties in a countryside area not zoned for development. Also it would create more traffic onto Jack's Lane which is already a dangerous lane due to it being so narrow and very few passing areas.; Commissioners concerned with the sewage, there have been problems in this area in the past – there is no soak away.
