## Officer's Report

The planning application seeks approval for alterations and extensions to Laxey Workingmen's Institute in Laxey. The building is a Registered Building and there is a concurrent Registered Building consent application, 05/01552/CON. It is my understanding that the proposal has been discussed with Steve Moore, Building Conservation Officer, and that he happy with the proposed works.

The only objection to the proposed works is from the DoT Highways Division, who are concerned about the car parking provision in relation to the use of the building. Given that the location of the building, the known restrictions on available on site car parking and the desirability of bringing a Registered Building into greater use I consider the objection to be insufficient to warrant refusal. I recommend that the planning application be approved.
