Isle of Man Government: Planning Committee: registers of planning applications A sequence of registers recording applications for development submitted for approval as part of the Isle of Man Government Town and Country planning and control system. Applications for planning approval were submitted to the Development Board (1936-1956) and its successors, the Local Goverment Board (1956-1986) and the Department of Local Government and the Environment (1986-2010). Applicants were required to submit plans of the proposed development alongside the application. Planning applications were given a reference number upon submission to the Development Board and are listed in the registers in reference number order. The standard information captured for each application is: -date of receipt by the Board; -name and address of the applicant; -location of proposed works; -description of works, with landscape references; -date of consideration by the Planning Committee or Special Planning Committee; -date of approval/refusal; -conditions to which approval was subject/reason(s) for refusal; -date of the final decision, if the application went to Review/Appeal stages; -additional notes and comments made by the Committee. In the back of most of the volumes, occupying the last few pages, are registrations of a special sequences of applications related to Douglas No. 1 (New Street Area) Planning Scheme Order 1936 and No. 2 (Ballakermeen and Ballabrooie Estates) Planning Scheme 1939 schemes. The register for 1985-1986 compiles all applications related to Douglas No. 2 Planning Scheme at the end of the volume. A number of types of records were created as part of the planning application process, including: this sequence of planning registers; a set of index maps (catalogue reference S90); minutes of the Planning Committee (catalogue referene S92); and the planning applications themselves (catalogue reference S10). Paper planning registers were replaced by an electronic database in the mid-1980s. 1936-1989
