Page 3 3.1 ODC 03.06.13 IN PUBLIC The Chairman reminded members that they were considering an application in principle in this instance, and discussion took place during which it was established that members would have a further opportunity to consider the detailed application for this site at a later date. It was noted by members that a number of them had received 3 letters expressing concerns of existing residents regarding access and traffic flow on a country road. Following discussion, members noted that there was nothing in the application confirming that the proposed development met the criteria of Housing Policy 12 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan, and were advised by the District Surveyor that the lack of information could form grounds to recommend refusal of the application. On the proposal of Mr Crellin, seconded by Mrs Kelly, it was unanimously RESOLVED by the remaining members that PA 13/00546 Lanjaghan View, Abbeylands be recommended for REFUSAL on the basis that there was no evidence to support the development meeting the criteria of Housing Policy 12 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan. PA 13/00547, Lanjaghan Farm, Lanjaghan Road, Abbeylands – Proposed redevelopment of existing farm complex. The District Surveyor advised:- The existing stone farm buildings are to be refurbished into 12 tourist flats with associated leisure facilities including a gym and spa. On a currently undeveloped area of the farm it is proposed to develop a new farm complex comprising of an agricultural farmworkers dwelling, two large sheep barns and other associated barns. Housing Policy 11 states:- “Conversion of existing rural buildings into dwellings may be permitted, but only where: (a) Redundancy for the original use can be established; (b) The building is substantially intact and structurally capable of renovation; (c) The building is of architectural, historic, or social interest; (d) The building is large enough to form a satisfactory dwelling, either as it stands or with modest, subordinate extension which does not affect adversely the character or interest of the building; (e) Residential use would not be incompatible with adjoining established uses or, where appropriate, land-use zonings on the area plan; and (f) The building is or can be provided with satisfactory services without unreasonable public expenditure. Such conversion must: (a) Where practicable and desirable, re-establish the original appearance of the building; and (b) Use the same materials as those in the existing building. Permission will not be given for the rebuilding of ruins or the erection of replacement buildings of similar, or even identical, form. Further extension of converted rural buildings will not usually be permitted, since this would lead to loss or reduction of the original interest and character.” From the detail submitted to support the application it is indicated that the current buildings no longer meet the needs of modern sheep farming. However they are suitable for renovation. It is argued that ‘the reuse of the buildings will bring tourism and additional business to the locality which will help rejuvenate their surroundings and benefit the local area.’ Page 4 3.1 ODC 03.06.13 IN PUBLIC As for the ‘new’ farm complex Housing Police 7 states:- ”New agricultural dwellings will only be permitted in exceptional circumstances where real agricultural need is demonstrated.” This application deliberately excludes the current farmhouse from the application site (see PA 13/00564).

  • Manx Gaelic and Physics, a Personal Journey, by Brian Stowell
    keynote address Editors’ note: This is the text of a keynote address delivered at the 2011 NAACLT conference held in Douglas on The Isle of Man. Manx Gaelic and physics, a personal journey Brian Stowell. Doolish, Mee Boaldyn 2011 At the age of sixteen at the beginning of 1953, I became very much aware of the Manx language, Manx Gaelic, and the desperate situation it was in then. I was born of Manx parents and brought up in Douglas in the Isle of Man, but, like most other Manx people then, I was only dimly aware that we had our own language. All that changed when, on New Year’s Day 1953, I picked up a Manx newspaper that was in the house and read an article about Douglas Fargher. He was expressing a passionate view that the Manx language had to be saved – he couldn’t understand how Manx people were so dismissive of their own language and ignorant about it. This article had a dra- matic effect on me – I can say it changed my life. I knew straight off somehow that I had to learn Manx. In 1953, I was a pupil at Douglas High School for Boys, with just over two years to go before I possibly left school and went to England to go to uni- versity. There was no university in the Isle of Man - there still isn’t, although things are progressing in that direction now. Amazingly, up until 1992, there 111 JCLL 2010/2011 Stowell was no formal, official teaching of Manx in schools in the Isle of Man.

  • Liberal Vannin Party National Manifesto
    Manifesto Liberal Vannin Party National Manifesto Liberal Vannin Manifesto Dear Voter I am pleased to present the Liberal Vannin Party Manifesto which has been developed by our Party in recent years as the problems with our Government have been getting worse. I am delighted that we are contesting nine constituencies in this election and in my constituency of Onchan I am joined by Zac Hall making the number of Liberal Vannin candidates ten in all. I have been engaged in politics on the Island for over 30 years and I am delighted with the values, skills, and experience of all the Liberal Vannin candidates. With your support, we can face the national challenges head-on, bring about democratic reform and protect our prosperous and caring society. Each of our candidates has developed a manifesto to reflect the interests and challenges of their particular constituency. But at this election we have all been surprised, and pleased, that most voters are much more concerned about national issues rather than the issues on their doorstep. We have therefore developed this manifesto to address the national issues that are country is facing and I commend it to you. Yours Peter Karran Liberal Vannin Party Leader Liber Bringing Politics Back to the People LIBERAL VANNIN PROGRAMME FOR GOVERNMENT There is a widespread feeling of disappointment in our politicians: we need change. If the same politicians are elected it won’t change - more of the same gets more of the same, and that isn’t good enough for the Isle of Man. A Liberal Vannin Government will get a grip on spending and international affairs, and involve the public with the difficult choices ahead to build on our success and secure our future.

  • Celtic League Halts Dangerous Weapons Tests
    Celtic News Archive 1996 - 2002 Celtic League halts dangerous weapons tests - 24-05-96 This week, the Celtic League successfully frustrated secret UK MOD attempts to start tests on countermeasures for so called "smart weapons". We argued the tests would pose a danger to ships and aircraft in the Irish sea area. The MOD initially would neither confirm nor deny our claims (then good sense appears to have prevailed). The tests at Aberporth missile range in mid Wales have now been deferred for a month. The League argued that the technology aimed at disabling Global Positioning Systems, on which the smart weapons depend, could pose a danger to others such as commercial ships, fishing craft and aircraft which use the systems. We set out below (in lay man's terms) detail to back up that argument. GPS is a vital component of modern navigation: It aids accurate navigation, geographic measurement of islands in the ocean, life saving and the control of rockets. Its pinpoint accuracy makes it a vital component of so called smart weapon technology which was demonstrated to such devastating effect during the Gulf War. GPS was originally a project of the US military which built the system of 24 satellites which span the world. Since 1990 the technology has been available for civil use and this enables a wide range of users to determine accurately the position of ships, land vehicles or aircraft. The GPS satellites rotate around the the earth in an elliptical orbit at an average height of 20,000 km. Eight satellites are "visible" at any one time in an intersecting orbital pattern.

This brings the total number of Liberal Vannin candidates contesting seats in the forthcoming election to 6 with further candidates in the final stages of approval. The meeting was open to debate with a question and answer session from the floor which was very informative. Party Leader Peter Karran MHK said that giving the ordinary members an input into the creation of policies and decision­making was what real Party politics was all about. This is the only forum currently available for ordinary people to have their say on how their island is run. He went on to say that the Liberal Vannin Party want to bring audit back into the Government which is so completely out of control at the present time. The Party Policy committee enthusiastically supports the solution to the current housing crisis proposed by communications director Chris Kent. The policy is designed to bring the first step on the housing ladder back into reach for many who currently find themselves at the mercy of unscrupulous landlords.
