Planning History
There are no previous planning applications which are considered relevant in the assessment and determination of this application.
Proposal
The application proposes alterations to rear elevation.
Representations
Onchan Commissioners:- Do not oppose
Inland Fisheries Development Manager:- There must be no development within 8 metres of the watercourse in order to minimise the risk of disturbance to the river, and to retain a natural wildlife corridor. Measures must be in place during construction works to safeguard the watercourse from run-off and sedimentation.
We have received no privately written representations objecting to the application.
