### Officer's Report

#### Land Use

The development is compatible with the area since the area is zoned as predominantly offices in the Douglas Local Plan. It is considered the principle of developing the site for residential use to be acceptable in this locality.

#### Parking

The car parking standards set out in Appendix 7 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007 requires 1 space for every 50 square metres of net floor space. The application is proposing to provide 75.67 square metres of net floor space which would equate to a requirement for 1.5 car parking spaces. The development is providing 2 car parking spaces on site. It is considered the car parking provision accords with the standards within the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007.

It is recommended that planning permission be granted subject to conditions.
