Planning
Cattery Plan for Onchan
the plans can be found in full here.
Plans have been submitted to open a cattery at Ballakilmartin on Whitebridge Hill in Onchan.
Owners Karl and Laura Bruder’s plans can be found in full here.
The site of the new cattery is currently scrubland adjacent to the existing riding arena
The precast Cattery building would consist of 10 double pens (including an isolation pen), a food preparation/washing room. There would be an adjacent office in a 3m x 3m flat roof proprietary wooden shed. A gravel access path would also be created to link the Cattery to the shared parking area close to the entrance of the property.
The application said: ‘There will be a maximum of 10 customers boarding their animals at any one time. Check in and check outs will be strictly by appointment only and restricted to one at a time.
‘The additional vehicle traffic numbers created by the Cattery, will be offset by Karl working from home and no longer traveling to and from the property multiple times a day for work his current work. This will be a family run business, there will be no other employees.
‘The business will also offer a collection and drop off service further reducing potential additional traffic.’
