Land Use Zoning / Policy The dwelling has been zoned under the Ramsey Local Plan Order 1998 as being within an area of residential/office use; the site is not within a Conservation Area. The Isle of Man Strategic Plan (June 2007) – Housing Policy 17 Proposal The application proposes the creation of two additional self contained flats. ### Representations The Ramsey Commissioners have asked for additional information:- The drawings submitted do not clearly show the existing and proposed layouts for the creation of additional self contained flats. An amended drawing should be submitted indicating the existing and proposed layouts for each floor within the building in order that a clear understanding of the proposed can be made. Highways Division:- Do not oppose The Chief Fire Officer makes no comment on the merit of the proposed development but request that an informative note be attached to any approval decision notice. The IOM Water Authority makes no comment on the merit of the proposed development but request that an informative note be attached to any approval decision notice. We have received no privately written representations objecting to the application. ### Assessment / recommendation The proposed alterations are to the first and second floor only. The applicant has stated that; "the previous application on this property for planning mistakenly stated that flat 5 was an existing flat. This now turns out not to be the case, hence the application." Initially I was confused as flat 5 does not appear on the submitted plans. However after discussion with the application, it became apparent that the numbering on the drawing was incorrect. Flat 4 which is indicated on the drawing (second floor) should in fact read flat 5. Additional the second flat involved within this application, flat 3 (first floor), is in fact flat 7. Overall this submission is very similar with the previous application (06/01052/B), in that the application proposed the conversion of two flats, one to the front of the property and one to the rear, as this application also does. As with the previous application, I consider the submission to provide acceptable general amenity to both of the flats. The flat to the front elevation has a very good outlook, having sea views and views along the promenade. The flats to the rear also have a reasonable outlook, with views of Mooragh Lake. For these reasons the proposals would be appropriate in these locations and comply with Housing Policy 17, and therefore my recommendation is for an approval. ### Party Status I consider that the following meet the criteria of Government Circular 1/06 and should be afforded interested party status: The Ramsey Commissioners Highways Division I consider that the following parties that made representations to the planning application do not meet the criteria of Government Circular 1/06 and should not be afforded interested party status:- The Chief Fire Officer IOM Water Authority ## Recommendation **Recommended Decision:** Permitted **Date of Recommendation:** 08.08.2007 --- ### Conditions and Notes for Approval / Reasons and Notes for Refusal **C:** Conditions for approval **N:** Notes attached to conditions **R:** Reasons for refusal **O:** Notes attached to refusals **C 1.** The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice. **C 2.** This approval relates to the submitted documents and drawings GE 1044 1of 4, GE 1044 2of 4 and GE 1044 APPENDIX 1 all received on 22nd May 2007. **C 3.** In the avoidance of doubt, the planning approval relates to flat 5 and flat 7, indicated on the submitted plan as flat 3 and flat 4. **N 1.** The proposed works This falls within the scope of the Fire Precautions (Flats) Regulations 1996 the applicant is required to consult with the Flats Inspection Team to discuss and agree compliance issues. *of the Isle of Man Fire Service (Tel 647303)* **N 2.** For a change in the supply to a premises (domestic or commercial) the applicant should contact the IoMWA Byelaws Inspector (Michael Karran), tel. 69 59 57 *in full* *26* *14.8.07* --- I confirm that this decision accords with Government Circular Nos 44/05 (Delegation of Functions to Director of Planning and Building Control) and 47/05 (Delegation of Functions to Senior Planning Officer) **Decision Made:** Permitted **Date:** 10/8/07 **Signed:** M.
