There would be two rows of storage units providing 15 individual "lock-up" type units. Each unit would have a roller shutter door. ### Planning Status The application site is located within an area identified as being Industrial Use by the Peel Local Plan. Within the Isle of Man Strategic Plan Business Policy 5 is relevant. This states: "On land zoned for industrial use, permission will be given only for industrial development or for storage and distribution; retailing will not be permitted except where either: - (a) the items to be sold could not reasonably be sold from a town centre location because of their size or nature; or - (b) the items to be sold are produced on the site and their sale could not reasonably be severed from the overall business; and, in respect of (a) or (b), where it can be demonstrated that the sales would not detract from the vitality and viability of the appropriate town centre shopping area." ## **PLANNING HISTORY** Whilst there have been previous planning applications relating to the wider site, none are considered specifically relevant in the assessment and determination of this application. **REPRESENTATIONS** The Department of Transport Highways Division does not oppose this application stating that there is sufficient parking space within the site to serve the development. Peel Town Commissioners do not object to this application. The Manx Electricity Authority has commented on the presence of electricity cables within the area. **ASSESSMENT** The proposed development is in accordance with the land designation of the site and would not adversely affect adjacent land uses or the surrounding area. It is judged that subject to a condition relating to the use of the buildings, the application as proposed is unobjectionable. **RECOMMENDATION** Permit. ## **PARTY STATUS** It is considered that the following parties, who submitted comments, accord with the requirements of Planning Circular 1/06 and are therefore, afforded Interested Party Status: - The Department of Transport Highways Division - Peel Town Commissioners Accordingly the following parties are not granted Interested Party Status: - The Manx Electricity Authority **Recommendation** **Recommended Decision:** Permitted **Date of Recommendation:** 15.07.2009 **Conditions and Notes for Approval / Reasons and Notes for Refusal** - C: Conditions for approval - N: Notes attached to conditions - R: Reasons for refusal - O: Notes attached to refusals C 1.
