**Name:** Douglas Borough Council
**Proposal:** Approval in principle for erection of a covered events hall

3. The application provides no information to demonstrate how the requirement for 180 car parking spaces to serve the proposed building would be met.

This decision was made by the Planning Committee constituted in accordance with Article 3(1) of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2005.
