Business Policy 7
Requires new office floor space in town/village centres on zoned land, or exceptionally in business parks for corporate HQs without callers, or historic buildings where office use best secures maintenance. Site not zoned for offices and no exceptions met; small scale did not override as policy prioritises centres for accessibility.
Braddan Parish District Plan 1991
Site in residential area (paras 5.4-5.9); Policy 3.3 prohibits additional office development except for approved industrial/science needs or local community offices, preferring conversions. Proposal seen as additional office despite partial residential retention, conflicting with residential zoning.
