In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act and Order the Department of Infrastructure determined to APPROVE a planning application by Mannin Retail Ltd, Ref 14/00561/B, for the alterations and erection of extension to premises at The Milestone Petrol Station Peel Road Douglas Isle of Man IM1 5ED subject to compliance with the following condition(s):

1. The development hereby approved shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this decision notice.

2. Notwithstanding the details already submitted, further details showing the trees to be removed shall be submitted to and be approved in writing by the Department. Those trees to be retained, either within the site, or those that overhang the site, must be protected from damage during the course of construction by the erection of protective fencing to ensure that the root structures are not compressed or excavated, including temporary provisions for site compounds and/or temporary parking. Details of such protection, as well as the means of accessing the site from the compound, shall be submitted to and approved by the Department prior to the commencement of works and implemented in accordance with the approved scheme.

Reason: To protect trees which provide environmental amenity for the area and its wildlife.

3. The site may not be used for the sale of vehicles or for the display of vehicles for sale.

Reason: in order to ensure there is sufficient space for vehicular parking and manoeuvring within the site.

4. Goods to be sold from the premises must at all times be ancillary to the primary use of the premises as a petrol station and goods to be sold must be limited to convenience type goods (groceries, alcohol, tobacco, toiletries, newspapers, magazines, household cleaning products and vehicle related goods).

Reason: To preserve the vitality and viability of existing centres.
