dilligaf Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 1 hour ago, Donald Trumps said: A 40 apartment & 40 bedroom hotel development won't increase the existing footprint? You're normally more sensible than that Got to be better than what is there now. I really can’t see the problem. A fair few ugly houses down there should never have been built either, but the owners now complain that a development that will help lots of people is not in keeping. 4 king nimbyism at it’s worst.

Donald Trumps Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 It's an Area of Special Scientific Interest as well as appreciated by most as a natural beauty spot You just can't have a residential development there Boot would be mad to approve it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the stinking enigma Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 By that you are assuming boot's planning decisions are based on rationality, fairness and sense. I admire your optimism 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the screenshot below - there are no plans to encroach on the SSI or any special areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is physically possible but I'm guessing it would include underground or covered car parking & be significantly higher than the existing property So here it is, 4 storeys high & what looks to me like totally inadequate parking provision Edited April 19, 2019 by Donald Trumps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a lot of wasted space in the present layout, due to the way it changed from Victoria house, country house hotel, 1920’s and 1950’s additions. Plus the designs I’ve seen have additional floor levels in some areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donald Trumps Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 (edited) Lots of planning info here https://services.gov.im/planningapplication/services/planning/planningapplicationdetails.iom?ApplicationReferenceNumber=17%2F01265%2FB Including a consultants report warning of the impact #Brexit will have on Isle of Man hotels & stating the development is viable FROM AN OPERATIONAL PERSPECTIVE Edited April 19, 2019 by Donald Trumps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donald Trumps Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 F**k me "Data received from Isle of Man Government highlights that serviced accommodation (including hotels, B&Bs, and guesthouses) dropped from 56.0% in 2015, to 53.0% in 2016" Wonder what level it is at in 2019?

TheTeapot Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 (edited) If you look at the map of the ASSI you'll see that the area for development is both inside and outside of it. https://www.protectedplanet.net/langness-derbyhaven-and-sandwick-area-of-special-scientific-interest-under-wildlife-act-1990 Edited April 19, 2019 by TheTeapot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
