{{table:190186}} ### Considerations {{table:190187}} ### Written Representations ### Consultations
The site represents the curtilage of the Eurocars dealership situated on the western side of Peel Road just to the north of Pulrose Bridge. The site accommodates a number of buildings - two workshops and two indoor showrooms and a large area of parking and external car display.
The site lies within a wider area of Light Industrial use on the Douglas Local Plan of 1998, stretching from Hills Meadow to the fire headquarters.
The site has been the subject of a number of applications for alterations to the buildings and for the installation of signage, none of which is particularly relevant to this application.
Proposed here is the installation of new Renault signage on the building furthest from Pulrose Bridge and the workshop in between together with a free standing totem sign near the entrance onto Peel Road but set back from the road and footway so as not to interfere with visibility for those exiting the site.
The signs are to be internally illuminated.
| Application No.: | 07/02013/D |
| Applicant: | Eurocars |
| Proposal: | Erection of illuminated and non illuminated signage |
| Site Address: | Eurocars Peel Road Douglas Isle Of Man IM1 5EW |
Douglas Corporation raise no objection to the proposal.
dot ht raise no objection subject to the free standing sign not interfering with visibility splays at the entrance.
The signage is generally upgrading and modernising what is already on the site. Whilst there is to be internal illumination, some of the existing signs are already illuminated and there are other illuminated signs along Peel Road - Waltons and McDonald's for example. The site plan is diagrammatic and not accurate.
The applicant has provided a clearer site plan which illustrates that the free-standing sign is to be 4.5m from the edge of the kerb and will not block visibility at the entrance.
The Department of Transport and the local authority are, by virtue of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2005, paragraph 6 (5) (c) and (d), considered "interested persons" and as such should be afforded party status.
