In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act and Order the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture determined to APPROVE an application by Mr Lee Jason Copeland, Ref 25/90413/B, for the Alteration of bus shelter into outhouse and removal of bus shelter from community facility into residential curtilage at 1 Snaefell View Jurby Isle Of Man IM7 3BF .

Any conditions or notes which apply to the approval are set out below. This approval is subject to compliance with any conditions listed and may not be implemented until it becomes final (see guidance notes).

• 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 26 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2019 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.

• 2. No development of the existing bus shelter shall commence until full details of the replacement bus shelter, together with a timescale for its installation, have been submitted to and approved in writing by Planning. The approved shelter shall be installed in accordance with the agreed timescale to ensure that no alteration of the existing bus stop shall take place until the replacement facility has been provided and is available for public use. REASON: To comply with Community Policy 3

This decision relates to the following plans and drawings, date stamped received on 22nd April 2025;

• o Location Plan
• o Site Plan

• o Photo 1
• o Photo 2

This decision has been made for the following reasons(s) It is considered that the proposed development is located on land directly associated with the existing dwelling, and its siting does not give rise to any form of encroachment or land-use conflict. Subject to the implementation of the replacement condition requiring the provision of a new bus stop—secured to ensure continuity of public transport infrastructure—there is no evidence of any demonstrable harm in planning terms.

The replacement bus stop condition ensures that an appropriately designed, safely accessible, and suitably positioned facility is delivered prior to the alteration of the existing stop, thereby maintaining uninterrupted service provision for the local community. With this safeguard in place, the proposal is considered to comply with General Policy 2 and Community Policy 3 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016 and is therefore deemed acceptable.
