The application sought permission to create a temporary car park at a recently approved development site at offices, garage and premises at 19 and 20 St. Georges Street, Douglas. The officer judged the proposals acceptable and recommended approval. A condition was imposed requiring the hardcore surface to be sealed to prevent stones and fine material tracking onto the highway and to stop material washing into the sewerage system. The Planning Committee, constituted under the Isle of Man Planning Scheme (Development Plan) Order 1982, formally granted permission subject to five conditions.

The officer considered the proposals acceptable and recommended approval. The Planning Committee agreed, granting permission with conditions including surface sealing requirements to protect the highway and drainage system.
