SCHEDULE OF CONDITIONS

Application Ref No: 01/00032/A On Review

1. This approval relates to the renovation of the existing outbuildings and their conversion to tourist accommodation. The renovation works may involve some rebuilding of existing fabric which is structurally unsound, as described in the report from Arup Isle of Man dated 22nd June, 2001.

2. This approval is in principle only and will remain valid for a period of two years within which time no development may take place until such time as details of the reserved matters (siting, design, external appearance, internal layout, means of access, landscaping) have been approved by the Planning Authority. Such reserved matters should form the subject of a single application.

3. The works involved in the conversion of the outbuildings must involve minimal change to the existing window and door apertures to retain the existing character of the buildings.

4. The detailed application must include a method statement to deal with the possibility of uncovering bat roosts within the building and to take account of swallows which may nest in the buildings.

5. The detailed application must include clear demarcation of vehicular parking to be associated with the new accommodation and turning facilities so that vehicles may enter and exit the site in a forward gear.

NOTE: The applicant is advised to consult the Department's Conservation Officer with respect to the preparation of detailed plans.

NOTE This review has been considered by the Planning Committee on written evidence. Any additional submissions not previously circulated to interested parties are enclosed herewith.
