Tel 01624 685950 Baywash Limited Unit 21 South Quay Douglas Isle Of Man IM1 5AR TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING ACT 1999 The Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure)(No 2) Order 2013 In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act, and subordinate Orders and Regulations, the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture determined to REFUSE an application by Baywash Limited, Ref 19/00623/B, for the Erection of an open sided structure, addition of a porta cabin office (retrospective) and change of use from industrial site to use as car wash/car valet business at Unit 21 South Quay Douglas Isle Of Man IM1 5AR for the following reason(s): 1. The proposed use as a car wash/valeting/car parking business would not be in accordance with the land use designations and Mixed Use Proposal 7 of the Area Plan for the East. Furthermore, such use would likely also detract from neighbouring sites from being development in compliance of Mixed Use Proposal 7, given the proposed uses and appearance of the site in question. 2. The proposal would be contrary to Environment Policy 36 and General Policy 2 as the proposal would detrimentally affect important views into and out of North Quay Conservation Area. 3. The use of the site as a temporary/fully fledged car park would reduce the likelihood of a prominent brownfield site being brought forward and this would be contrary to Strategic Policy 1 of the Strategic Plan (2016), the policy on car parks as set out in "Reform of the Planning System - Programme for Government 2016 - 2021" and the recommendations of the Report of the Select Committee of Tynwald on the Development of Unoccupied Urban Sites (2017-2018).
