Planning Application Statement

Mrs Anna Kawalek Application for Approval in Principle to Demolish Existing Building and Replace it with 5 Dwellings Groudle Glen Hotel, King Edward Road, Onchan Statement to Accompany Planning Application Ellis Brown Architects

In October 2013 under Planning Application number 13/000531/A Approval in Principle was granted on Appeal for the conversion of the existing building into permanent and /or tourist apartments, and provision of associated off road parking facilities at Groudle Glen Hotel, King Edward Road, Onchan.

It was accepted at that time that the building was redundant and its use as a hotel, a public house and latterly a restaurant had become non viable.

This proposal was not progressed as it was deemed not to be commercially viable. The building is not a registered building and is not in a conservation area. We therefore now submit an application for approval in principle to demolish the existing building and replace it with 5 dwellings with associated parking and attach with the application indicative drawings showing how this could be achieved.

Parking is provided for 10 cars, at 2 car spaces per dwelling, in a similar manner to that accepted by the Highway Authority under application 13/00531/A.
