Gateways, Lezayre Road, Glen Tramman, Ramsey, Isle Of Man, IM7 2aw
This application sought permission to convert a workshop at Gateways, Lezayre Road, Glen Tramman, Ramsey into tourist living accommodation. The application was refused by a delegated Principal Planner on 12 January 2021. The decision turned on whether the workshop was genuinely redundant and whether the building merited conversion. Planners concluded it failed the redundancy test and was not of sufficient quality or interest to justify retention and re-use for tourist accommodation. Because the proposal did not satisfy the relevant business and environmental policies in the Isle of Man Strategic Plan, permission was refused.
The application was refused because the workshop was not considered genuinely redundant, and the proposal was not of sufficient quality or interest to justify converting it to tourist accommodation. As a result, it failed to meet the strategic plan's requirements for business and environmental policies.
