Flat 2, Holmes Court, Rowany Drive, Port Erin, Isle Of Man, IM9 6lw
Permission was granted to use 2 Holmes Court, Rowany Drive, Port Erin as self-catering tourist accommodation in addition to its existing residential use. The property is a ground floor, two-bedroom apartment located south of Port Erin Golf Club, with northerly views over the golf course and countryside. The officer assessed the proposal against two main issues: the effect on the living conditions of immediate neighbours and the broader impact on local amenity. Both were considered acceptable. The application was determined under delegated powers and approved subject to one condition.
The Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture permitted the additional use of the property as self-catering tourist accommodation, subject to one condition. The key planning considerations were the impact on the living conditions of immediate neighbours and the effect on local amenity, both of which were found to be acceptable.
The use of existing private residential properties as tourist accommodation may be acceptable if it can be demonstrated that it will not compromise the amenities of any neighbouring residents.
