### Officer's Report

Application is for an approval in principle for conversion of guest house to four apartments.

In 2003 an application (03/01901/A) was for the Approval in principle for the conversion of guest house to four apartments. This permitted on review on 16.04.2004.

The applicants have not submitted a reserved matter application since the AIP was granted. The approval has since expired.

The applicants are now wishing to re-instate the permission. There have been no policy changes since the since approval. I do not see there is any reason to withhold a planning permission.

The Department of Transport and the local authority are, by virtue of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2005, paragraph 6 (5) (c) and (d), considered "interested persons" and as such should be afforded party status.

Whilst IoM Fire and Rescue Service, MEA and the IoMWA represents a statutory authority, the points raised in correspondence relate to Building Control matters and not planning and as such should not be afforded party status in this instance.

The Disability Access Office have raised points relating to Building Control matters and not planning and as such should not be afforded party status.
