The officer concluded the proposal accords with General Policy 2 and Business Policy 13 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007.
General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in accordance with Area Plan zoning if it respects the site/surroundings, does not adversely affect amenity, character, road safety, or parking. The officer assessed the proposal complies as it involves no physical changes, would not harm residential amenity or increase disturbance significantly in the existing promenade apartment setting, and parking is managed via disc zones.
Business Policy 13
BP13 allows tourist accommodation in private residential properties if it does not compromise neighbouring amenities. Though the site is an apartment, the same principle applies; the officer found no significant amenity harm from tourist use due to comparable occupancy patterns, secure access, and the site's busy location.
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 14 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No2) Order 2013 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
