Within an area zoned for Predominantly Shopping on the Local Plan within the North Dairy Conservation Area, the pavilion occupied by the Manx Lopion is Registered.

Date: 10/12/03 #### Summary of objections/Views - LA - no objection - HA - objection (parking) - FFO - consult - SPACE - support, but given: Name #### Recommendations Approve/Refuse Signed Date Summary of objections/views {{table:502516}} {{table:502517}} Planning Report and Recommendations General Report Site Visited YES/NO Elements which are not include (a) the external part of the lift shaft, which is in facing brick and involves blocking up two existing windows; and (b) the external soil-stacks on the back of the Douglas (most of which exist); and (c) possibly, the bar fronts. 8. Parking There is no proposal for parking, either on-site or off-site. The appeal decision in respect of 00/1330 established that any provision should be off-site. If the proposals are judged to result in the successful re-use and restoration of Reg'd fabric and buildings within a C.A., it would be legitimate to waive the usual parking requirements. Signed Provision could/should be made Date 10.12.03 Summary of objections/views Recommendations Approve/Refuse Signed Date Planning Report and Recommendations General Report Site Visited YES/NO to accommodate service vehicles when designing the bus-station redev't. (a) b) Historic Fabric In considering 00/1330, it was established that the vaulted basement to the Douglas (possibly 17th century) should be preserved, and that the internal staircase should be kept if possible (Building Regs are a problem). As far as I can see from the drawings (a) the vaulted basement would not be disturbed, except perhaps by the construction of the lift pit; and (b) the staircase would be retained and repaired as req'd.
