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
Requires developments in line with Area Plan zoning to respect surroundings, amenity, highways, and other criteria without adverse impacts. The officer assessed the non-material change in use as compliant given the mixed-use zone, lack of external alterations, minimal amenity harm, adequate parking/access, and central location.
Business Policy 13
Generally permits tourist use of private residential properties if neighbouring amenities are not compromised. Though the site is an apartment, the same principle applied; officer found no compromise due to existing activity levels, secure access, and apartment nature expecting varied occupancy.
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.
