Approved 26th November 1999. [Table omitted in markdown export] PA 02/00669 – Conversion of chiropody surgery and residential to tourist accommodation, 3 Mona Street, Peel. Approved 21st August 2002. ### The Proposal The application seeks approval to change a ground floor room to a beauty salon. ### Representations Peel Town Commissioners recommend that the application be approved and the Chief Fire Officer seeks consultation on approval. The Department of Transport Highways Division object to the application on the basis that the proposal will result in traffic congestion. The Disability Access Officer requests the ground floor be accessible by a wheelchair user. ### Assessment Planning permission has previously been granted at the application site for the use of a room at ground floor level as a chiropodists practice. At that time, the permission stated that the approval related to the use of one room only and the hours of operation were also conditioned. It is considered that the use of one room within the property, suitably controlled by condition will not result in an adverse impact on the residential amenity enjoyed by occupiers of adjacent dwellings. With regard to the parking, on the basis of the suggested conditions, it is not considered that the use would result in additional traffic sufficient to result in congestion. Furthermore, the relative proximity of the property to the town centre and nearby car parks results in adequate parking available within walking distance. ### Recommendation It is considered that application be approved. ### Party Status 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. It is considered that all parties, who submitted comments accord with the requirements of Planning Circular 1/06 and are therefore afforded interested party status. ### Recommendation Recommended Decision: Permitted Date of Recommendation: 03.10.2006 ### Conditions and Notes for Approval / Reasons and Notes for Refusal C : Conditions for approval N : Notes attached to conditions R : Reasons for refusal - : Notes attached to refusals C 1.
