The proposed development would represent an unacceptable risk for on-site flooding for future occupants of the three apartments proposed for the basement and is, therefore, contrary to Environment Policy 13 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan. 2. Insufficient information has been provided to demonstrate that appropriate mitigation measures could be implemented on site to safeguard the occupants of the basement apartments from future flood occurrence as required by Environment Policy 10 of the Strategic Plan. 3. In terms of its layout and design the proposed development fails to ensure that all the flats - particularly the basement flat - created within the property will have pleasant clear outlook, particularly from the principal rooms, which would be contrary to Housing Policy 17 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016.
