The site is defined as the western-most part of the Inner Harbour in Douglas. 2. Proposed is the provision of a further 41 pontoon berths and associated works. 3. The pontoons would be of the same construction as Phase 1. 4. The principle issue is the design/materials of the entrance canopy, and the treatment of the ramps/plinth associated therewith. 5. See also Mr Sewell’s comments regarding parking. 6. The entrance canopy is of similar form and materials to that in Phase 1 i.e. basic, but such as to make little visual impact. 7. The plinth should be faced so as to fit in the North Quay scheme. 8. The correspondence in relation to parking is self explanatory. The Department of Transport has sufficient control over sufficient parking spaces which are close to the site. ### Recommendation Recommended Decision: Permitted Date of Recommendation: ### Conditions and Notes for Approval / Reasons and Notes for Refusal C : Conditions for approval N : Notes attached to conditions R : Reasons for refusal - : Notes attached to refusals C 1.
