Change of use of park car park to hold an open air market one day per week April till October and December and the occasional Sunday car boot sale, car park in front of Wise Mann Carpets

Why Was This Approved?

• ✓Conversion of a twelve-month temporary permission into a full permanent approval
• ✓Site zoned as Mixed Use in the Port Erin Plan, compatible with market and car boot use
• ✓Use limited to one market day per week and car boot sales on Sundays
• ✓Trial period demonstrated no unacceptable impact on the area

The application converted a temporary permission (PA 04/342) into a full approval for use of the Wiseman Carpets car park on Station Road, Port Erin, as an open-air market one day per week and for car boot sales on Sundays. The site sits within a Mixed Use zone under the Port Erin Plan. A twelve-month trial period had been granted under the earlier permission to assess the impact of the use on the area. The approval explicitly permits the use to continue beyond April 2005, which had been the expiry date under the temporary permission.

The site's Mixed Use zoning was compatible with the proposed market and car boot activity, and the trial period demonstrated no unacceptable impact, making a full permanent approval appropriate.
