The officer assessed two key issues: impact on neighbouring amenity from the use and increased traffic in the rear service lane.
General Policy 2
Relevant under Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007. Requires development to respect residential amenity and not cause undue harm from traffic or activity. Officer assessed low visitor numbers and lack of highway objection as compliant, despite some impact from evening/weekend use.
Environment Policy 22
Relevant under Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007. Officer applied in context of residential zoning under Douglas Local Plan, finding no presumption against small-scale home business if amenity not adversely affected; low intensity tipped balance in favour.
