Phase 2 Environmental And Highway Improvements, Loch Promenade, Douglas, Isle Of Man, IM1 2ln
This application sought permission for the reconstruction and repositioning of highways and footways along Loch and Harris Promenades in Douglas, Isle of Man. The works included upgrading and refurbishing drainage and statutory service infrastructure, replacing associated street furniture, and replacing the horse tramway double track with a single track repositioned to the seaward side of the new highway alignment. The site is a significant stretch of land in Douglas, approximately three-quarters of a mile long, encompassing the main Promenade highway and branching side roads. The Loch Promenade section is notably wide, with parallel parking to the west and angled chevron parking to the east of the carriageway. The officer recommended approval, and the committee permitted the application on 16 February 2018. The main planning issues examined were the principle of the development, potential visual impacts on the Conservation Area and Promenade, and effects on highway safety and parking.
