Malew Parish Commissioners
ObjectionThe Commissioners wish to notify you that they object to this Planning Application on the grounds of the size, style and quality of the proposed dwelling, which is out of keeping with the character of neighbouring properties, and is unsympathetic to the village environment.
The original application 05/92163/B for erection of a dwelling on plot 21 of an approved residential development at Poachers Pocket, Bridge Road, Ballasalla was permitted by the Planning Committee on 02.02.2006. Malew Parish Commissioners lodged appeal AP06/0027 against this approval. The appeal process involved notification to parties and a request for written statements, with potential for an inquiry. No reasons for the parish's appeal are stated in the documents. The appeal was withdrawn on 26th April 2006, so the Planning Committee's approval decision stands.
Precedent Value
This appeal sets no substantive precedent as it was withdrawn early; future applicants can note that parish objections to approvals can be lodged but may not proceed if withdrawn.
