### Reasons For Refusal:

1. By reason of its limited size and poor outlook the conversion of the third floor into a self-contained apartment would be contrary to the provisions of Planning Circular 2/88 - The Conversion of Buildings into Flats. As such it is considered that the building is not capable of being appropriately converted into three self-contained apartments.

NOTE Without prejudice to any subsequent planning application the conversion of the building into two self-contained apartments may be acceptable.

NOTE This decision was made by the Planning Committee constituted in accordance with Paragraph 2 of Schedule 1 of the Isle of Man Planning Scheme (Development Plan) Order 1982.

Note 1: The decision contained in this notice does not become final until:-
- the time for requesting a review of the initial decision has expired; or
- any review of the initial decision has been completed; or
- the time for requesting an appeal in relation to any decision at review has expired; or
- any appeal has been completed.

Note 2: Rights of review against the decision are attached.
