The proposed use as an electric vehicle charging station car park business would not be in accordance with the land use designations and Mixed Use Proposal 7 of the Area Plan for the East 2020. Furthermore, such use would likely also detract from neighbouring sites from being development in compliance of Mixed Use Proposal 7, given the proposed use 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 an electric vehicle charging station 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 IOM Strategic Plan 2016.
