In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act and Order the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture determined to APPROVE an application by Mr James Bass, Ref 16/01251/C, for the Additional use of residential dwelling as tourist living accommodation at Palm Villa 10 Harbour View Onchan Isle Of Man IM3 2AN subject to compliance with the following condition(s) and notes (if any) :

- 1. The development hereby approved shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this decision notice.

The accommodation hereby approved shall not be occupied by the same person(s) for a single period or cumulative periods exceeding 28 days in any calendar year.
