The officer assessed the proposal against General Policy 2 (GP2) and Business Policy 13 (BP13) of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan.
General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in line with area plans if it respects site surroundings in siting, scale, amenity, road safety, flood risk, and other tests without adverse impacts. The officer assessed the change of use as compliant since no building works are involved, the site is in a residential area, parking is adequate with no highway objection, and flood risk does not affect the dwelling.
Business Policy 13
BP13 allows tourist accommodation in residential properties if neighbouring amenities are not compromised. The officer found the use acceptable as its impact matches permanent residential occupancy in this location with nearby residences, and no neighbour concerns were raised.
Time limit
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.
