Dear Sirs,

Planning Application Ref 16/01387/B – The Quay, Port St Mary

I have reviewed the above planning application and would like to raise concerns about the increasing congestion and decreasing parking in this area.

1) It is not clear from the application how busy this area already is. For information I have added some additional information to the area plan as attached.

2) From the amended plan you can see that Island Seafare is currently run between 2 different buildings in this area. There are a lot of movements between these 2 sites often with the use of a forklift truck. I can only assume that the proposal to change the existing door to double doors will mean more movements between 3 sites and inevitably the loss of parking spaces.

3) The Isle of Man Yacht Club is located in the same area. During the year they have events and functions which obviously means an increase in traffic and problems with parking. There is also a gym in the same area and again, cars arriving and departing during the day and evening. Areas which were open for parking are often not available as the factory often use a significant area for storing pallets and other materials.

4) I must also mention the Boat Park and slipway. Throughout the year (but especially in the summer months), cars arrive towing boats and the area in front of the building is used for manoeuvring cars/boats/trailers into the boat park and onto the slipway. It gets very congested especially when boat owners leave the trailers in parking spaces whilst they are away sailing.

I have attached a few photographs to try and give a better overview. (Sorry about the quality). Your consideration on the above would be much appreciated. Yours faithfully
