DOUGLAS

18th September 2019

Dear Sir/Madam

**TOWN & COUNTRY PLANNING ACT 1999**
**TOWN & COUNTRY (DEVELOPMENT PROCEDURE) (NO 2) ORDER 2013**

**PA - 19/00734/C Temporary use as a car park (retrospective) at 19-20 St Georges Street Douglas Isle Of Man**

The above application was placed before the Council's Environmental Services Committee at a meeting held on the 16th September 2019. Following consideration of the application, the Committee resolved that Douglas Borough Council **objects** to the application on the following grounds:

The site has been a temporary car park for over the recommended twenty-four month period and that the applicant has not fulfilled their obligation of the original planning conditions to provide adequate parking for staff. It must also be noted that the Council felt that by allowing the continuation of this temporary arrangement that a dangerous precedent would be set which could lead to the proliferation of temporary car park sites for longer than the recommended twenty-four month period.

Yours sincerely,

S Salter
**Dilapidation Enforcement Officer**
