In pursuance of his powers under the above Act and Order, the Minister for Infrastructure, the Hon P A Gawne MHK, does hereby in the name of and on behalf of the Department APPROVE planning application 13/91190/B by Quiggin \& Cubbon Ltd for Demolition of existing light industrial units and erection of two light industrial units with ground floor storage, first floor offices and associated parking and drainage at Workshop/Storage buildings between Albany Lane and Berkeley Street Lane, Douglas, Isle of Man, IM2 3RN, subject to the following condition(s):

1. The development hereby approved shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this decision notice.

Reason: To comply with article 14 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No2) Order 2013 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
2. None of the buildings hereby approved may be used other than between 0800hrs to 1800hrs Monday to Friday; 0800hrs to 1300hrs on Saturdays with no working on Sundays or Public or Bank Holidays.

Reason: To minimise the potential impact through the use of the buildings on those in residential properties close to the site.
3. All windows shown in the approved drawings as being fitted with obscured glazing must be fitted with glass which is obscured to Pilkington Level 5 or equivalent and retained as such unless otherwise approved by the Department.

Reason: To minimise the impact on the privacy and amenities of those in residential property adjacent to the site.
4. Prior to the commencement of any works, including and particularly dismantling or demolishing any of the existing fabric, there must be submitted and approved by the Department a bat survey undertaken by a suitably qualified person which includes measures to deal appropriately with any bats or roosts which are found.

Reason: To accord with Environment Policy 4 of the Strategic Plan.
5. The ground floor of the approved buildings may be used only for storage or light industrial purposes as defined in the Strategic Plan and the upper floors used only for offices ancillary

to the operations being carried out on the ground floor of either or both buildings. The car parking may only be used for the parking of vehicles associated with the approved development during authorised working hours on this site by those working within the application site.

**Reason:** For the avoidance of doubt as these are the uses which have been applied for and also in the interests of residential amenity and highway safety.

**Note:** This approval relates to drawings P02 received on 9 October 2013 and P01A, P03B and P04A received on 26 November 2014. **Date of issue:** 12 March 2015 **By Order of the Minister**

**N J Black**
Chief Executive

**Note 1:** A copy of the report of the appointed person is appended hereto.

**Note 2:** The applicant is encouraged, prior to the commencement of any works on site, including demolition, to consult the Department regarding the undertaking of the demolition and reconstruction such that disruption and inconvenience to those living in the surrounding area are minimised.

**Note 3:** Bats and their roosts are protected under the Wildlife Act 1990 and the advice of the Department of the Environment, Food and Agriculture should be sought in this respect. Bat surveys may only be carried out at certain parts of the year. The applicant has been requested to provide such a survey and has not done so.
