The application site is No. 1 Quine's Corner, Douglas. The site comprises an empty shop situated on the corner of Quine's Corner and the North Quay. 2. The site is within the Douglas North Quay Conservation Area. ### The Proposal 3. The application seeks advertisement consent for new signage in conjunction with the proposed use of the premises as additional floor space accommodation for the Bridge Inn immediately next door. That proposal is currently the subject of a planning application for a change of use of the premises (13/00806/C). The planning application is currently undetermined pending additional information on sound insulation in the floor in order that the impact of the use on the residential units above can be properly assessed. ### Planning History 4. 13/00806/C – the Planning Authority is currently considering an application for change of use of the premises to provide additional floor space accommodation for the Bridge Inn immediately next door. 5. The site has no other relevant planning history. ### Planning Policy 6. The Douglas Local Plan 1998 identifies the site and immediate surroundings as being in mixed use. 7. General Policy 6 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007 is relevant: 'Within our towns and villages, the display of external advertisements will be permitted on the site or building to which they relate provided they: (a) are of a high standard of design and materials and relate well to the building and site on which they are to be displayed; [Table omitted in markdown export] (b) are in keeping with and do not detract from the surrounding area; and (c) are located so as not to cause a highway safety hazard.' ## Representations 8. Douglas Borough Council - no response to date. 9. Highways Division - no objection. ### Assessment 10. The proposed signage would match the corporate branding of the Bridge Inn next door and is of a smart and tasteful design. It would arguably be an improvement over the existing dated signage. It is considered that the proposal would enhance local amenity and there is no evidence that it would be detrimental to public safety. ### Recommendation 11. It is recommended that approval is granted. ### Party Status 12. The Local Authority, Douglas Borough Council, is by virtue of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2005, paragraph 6 (5)(d) granted Interested Party Status. 13. The Highways Division is part of the Department of Infrastructure and not an Interested Party. ### Recommendation Recommended Decision: Permitted Date of 19.08.2013 Recommendation: ### Conditions and Notes for Approval / Reasons and Notes for Refusal ### C : Conditions for approval
