Officer's Report

The Application Site And Proposed Development

The application site comprises of a small parcel of land contained within existing group of buildings that constitute Kirby Farm. Kirby Farm is located adjacent to Vicarage Road in Braddan.

The proposed development comprises of the erection of an electrical sub-station and switch room on the application site.

Planning History

Whilst the application site and surrounding area has been the subject of previous planning application I do not consider any of these to be specifically relevant to the assessment of this current planning application.

Representations

Braddan Parish Commissioners recommend that the planning application be approved.

Planning Policy

The application site is within the area covered by the Braddan District Local Plan. There are issues of zoning or policies that I consider to be relevant to the assessment of this planning application.

Assessment

I consider the proposed development to be relatively modest in comparison to the overall level of built development within Kirby Farm. I can see no adverse impact on public amenity, private amenity or highway safety arising from the proposal.

I recommend that the planning application be approved.

Party Status

I consider that the following parties that made representations to the planning application meet the criteria of Government Circular 1/06 and should be afforded interested party status:

Braddan Parish Commissioners.
