The officer considered the proposal in the context of the site's location within the Isle of Man Business Park, designated for industrial use in the Braddan Local Plan 1991.
General Policy 2

The officer applied this to the minor ramp proposal in an industrial area, confirming no visual harm, no amenity impacts, and improved access, with the site's business park zoning supporting the development.
