The site is designated for Government use under the Douglas Local Plan 1998, and the proposed storage use accords with this zoning, making General Policy 2 applicable.
General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in accordance with land use zoning if it respects site and surroundings in siting, layout, scale, form, design; does not adversely affect landscape/townscape character, residential amenity, or locality; provides satisfactory access, parking, and road safety; and considers energy efficiency. The officer tested the proposal against criteria b, c, g, h, i, and n, finding the industrial storage building compatible with the Government use area, improving rather than harming visual character, with no amenity or highway concerns.
