Dear Mr And Mrs Fleming re Planning Application Reference No. 11/00751/C Bridson House Bridson Street Port Erin Isle Of Man IM9 6AN

I write with reference to your above Application for Planning Approval which makes mention of your intention to create (a) new flat(s)/apartment(s).

I have to advise you that the proposed flats/apartments must, on completion of the intended works, comply with the requirements of the Housing (Flats) Regulations 1982 and be registered thereafter under the same Regulations PRIOR to any of the flats being occupied.

The Regulations are enforced by the Department on behalf of local authorities throughout the Island (with the exception of Onchan who have their own enforcement officers). Accordingly, we carry out inspections of new flats on their behalf in order to ensure compliance with the requirements of the Regulations, and prior to registration being granted.

I have enclosed one copy of an Application for Registration of Flats form for your attention. If you require further advice or information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
