Approved plans

Do not oppose
Highways Division has no objection to application 06/01574/B. Port St Mary Commissioners object due to retrospective nature, excessive dimensions, potential commercial use, and visual intrusiveness. Neighbour raises strong privacy and construction concerns but is not a statutory consultee.
Key concern: retrospective application with dimensions exceeding Permitted Development Order limits and visual intrusiveness in countryside
