Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture, Planning & Building Control Directorate, Murray House, Mount Havelock, Douglas, Isle of Man, IM1 2SF. Email [email protected]. Tel 01624 685950 Reason: The Department has assessed the impact of the proposal on this basis of these uses only and any alternative uses will require further consideration. This decision relates to the documents and plans received 12 March 2025, and Correspondence from applicant received 28 April 2025. This decision has been made for the following reasons(s) The proposed development is considered acceptable as it strikes a balance between addressing its limitations and providing substantial benefits. While the absence of on-site parking represents a notable shortfall against Appendix A.7.6 of Transport Policy 7 and the loss of active retail frontage is acknowledged, these issues are mitigated by the site's proximity to the Lord Street Bus Station, nearby public car parks, and alternative transport options, ensuring compliance with General Policy 2(h) and Transport Policy 4. The external alterations respect the building's Art Deco character and contribute positively to the streetscape in line with Strategic Policy 3(b) and Environment Policy 42, preserving its architectural integrity. Moreover, the change of use supports the vitality of Douglas town centre, aligning with General Policy 2(i) and the mixed-use principles outlined in Paragraphs 9.4.1 and 9.11.2 of the Area Plan, thereby enhancing local services and employment opportunities. Subject to conditions securing design and material quality, the proposal effectively balances modernization, accessibility, and preservation, ensuring compliance with relevant policies.
