The site is occupied by a series of four single storey industrial style units which are situated towards the south western part of the site. There is a vehicular access from the main road. At present the units are vacant. #### The Proposal This application seeks approval for the re-roofing of the warehouse units. The roofs would be replaced along with guttering and down pipes. There would also be guard rails added. #### Planning Status The Development Plan document which shows land zoning for this area of the Island is the 1982 Development Plan. The resolution of the Plan is such that it is difficult to clearly identify the site however it would appear that the land is within a wider area of High Landscape Value. Notwithstanding this, the site has been used in its current format for well in excess of 10 years and as such its lawful use is as a retail warehouse. ## Planning History There are no previous applications considered relevant in the assessment and determination of this application. ### Representations Marown Parish Commissioners do not object to this application. The Highways Division does not oppose this application. The Isle of Man Water and Sewerage Authority does not object to this application subject to there being no discharge of surface water to any foul drainage system(s).
