Winerite, Victoria Road, Douglas, Isle Of Man, IM2 4ez
The proposal involves replacing a collapsed traditional stone retaining wall (previously 2.4-2.6m high) at the rear of the Winerite retail unit with a new masonry retaining wall of 2.2m height, topped with 0.9m palisade security fencing, and 1.1m high timber fencing at ground level for safety.

The primary issue was visual amenity impact given the site's inaccessible and largely invisible location from public views and Woodville Lane due to topography and mature vegetation.
General Policy 2
