### Schedule Of Conditions:
1. The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.
2. This approval relates to the conversion of the existing tearooms to form two residential dwellings as shown by the plans and information 1357-01, 1357-02 and Copy Letter [28/2/08] submitted and date stamped 12th May 2008.
3. Off-street parking shall be provided to serve the approved dwellings in accordance with Appendix 7 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007.
4. Development must be a minimum distance of 8 metres from the watercourse in order to minimise the risk of damage or disturbance to the river banks and river bed. Measures must
be in place during construction works to safeguard the watercourse from run-off and sedimentation. For further advice and guidance, please contact the Inland Fisheries Section of DAFF.
5. All rooflights on the approved converted buildings must be "Conservation" type with the exception of the rooflight to the rear (east) elevation of the existing cottage.
6. The roof(s) must be finished in dark natural slate.
7. Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (Permitted Development) Order 2005 (or any Order revoking or re-enacting that Order) no extensions, greenhouses, walls, gates, fences, garden sheds, summerhouses, flag poles, decking, garages, or tanks for the storage of oil for domestic heating shall be erected (other than those expressly authorised by this approval.)
8. Prior to the commencement of the development there must be submitted to and approved by the Planning Authority a plan showing the residential curtilages for the two properties. For the avoidance of doubt no car sales may take place within the residential curtilage of the two approved dwellings.
This decision was made by the Director of Planning and Building Control in accordance with the authority delegated to him under Article 3(13) of the Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005.
