The development hereby approved shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this decision notice. Reason: To comply with Article 26 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2019 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals. 2. Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (Permitted Development) Order 2012 (or any Order revoking and/or re-enacting that Order with or without modification), the Units (1 to 3) shall not be used other than for Class 2.1 - Light industrial and/or Class 2.4 - Storage or distribution and for no other purposes. Reason: The Department has assessed the impact of the proposal on the basis of the specific use and any alternative uses within the same Use Class will require further consideration. 3.

Prior to the occupation of the units hereby approved, a plan which provides details of the allocation of the existing parking spaces on site for the new units and the existing Garage unit shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Department. The parking areas designated as being reserved for the units on site shall be marked out on the parking areas, and shall not be used for any other purpose other than the parking and turning of vehicles. Reason: To ensure that provision is made for off-street parking for the existing and proposed units in the interest of highway safety. 5. Prior to the occupation of the approved units, the external finish and the installation of all external facing materials shall be carried out in accordance with Drawing No. 22007/2/03 - Proposed Plans Section and Elevations. The development shall be retained as such thereafter. Reason: In the interests of the appearance of the development and the visual amenities of the area, as the proposal has been assessed on the submitted documents and drawings, and any changes may have a different impact. This approval relates to the following documents and plans received 25 November 2024: o Design Statement; o Drawing No. 22007/2/01 - Site and Location Plans o Drawing No. 22007/2/02 - Existing Plans Section and Elevations; and o Drawing No. 22007/2/03 - Proposed Plans Section and Elevations NOTE Allowing surface water runoff onto a public highway would contravene Section 58 of the Highway Act 1986 and guidance contained in section 11.3.11 of the Manual for Manx Roads. This decision has been made for the following reasons(s) On balance, while the zoning of the site for residential use, and the potentials for increased parking demands weighs against the proposal, the proposal would result in significant improvements in the character and appearance of the area and this aligns with General Policy 2 (b & c), Strategic Policy 5, and Environment Policy 42 of the Strategic Plan. No concerns are also expected to result in relation to impacts on neighbouring amenity (Environment Policy 22). Moreover, the proposal will help retain and increase employment opportunities within this part of Douglas in line with the goals of Business Policy 1, and it is expected that the development would have a diminished impact on the area relative to the current use of the site as a dog day care.
