Why was this refused?

parking provision and reorganization across estate
access visibility splays (4.5m x 70m required)
servicing and turning space for vehicles
need for Master Plan for whole industrial estate

The proposal sought approval in principle for a 450m² industrial unit for Thermoguard (IOM) Ltd, plus reorganized parking (52 spaces) and new access at the western end of Gladstone Park Industrial Estate, a run-down light industrial area in Ramsey zoned for such uses.
