The officer explained that the previous permission PA 06/01678/B allowed enclosure of bays for multi-purpose units but restricted uses to temporary retail/café etc.
All new retail development (excepting neighbourhood shops and those instances identified in Business Policy 5) sited within the town and village centr
Requires all new retail development (except neighbourhood shops and instances in Business Policy 5) to be sited within town and village centres on land zoned for these purposes in Area Plans. The officer assessed that the site is not zoned for retail and lies outside Douglas Town Centre, failing the policy test for permanent retail.
Business Policy 10
Permits retail development only in established town and village centres, except neighbourhood shops in large residential areas and instances in Business Policy 5. The site does not qualify as it is in a civic/cultural zone, not an established retail centre, and approval would undermine town centre viability.
General Policy 2
Listed as relevant but not specifically assessed in the report.
Do not oppose
No objection
Recommend the Applicant consults with the Fire Safety Department to discuss the fire precautions in detail.
