Permission was granted for the construction of a light industrial or storage and distribution unit at White Hoe Industrial Estate, Old Castletown Road, Douglas, Isle of Man. The application was decided under delegated powers on 13 November 2014. The officer noted that the site lies lower than the public highway and that the area proposed for the building was already dug out. These site characteristics meant that, despite the scale of the proposed buildings, their visual impact would be limited. An amended plan was submitted during the application showing the land allocated to the unit and confirming ten parking spaces. The application has a planning history of three previous references at the site.

The application was permitted, subject to two conditions. The officer recommended approval, and the decision was made under delegated powers. The site's lower position relative to the public highway meant the proposed buildings, though sizeable, would have a reduced visual impact.
