Ocean Ford, Isle Of Man Business Park, Douglas, Isle Of Man, IM2 4wd
Permission was granted for the erection of a motor vehicle workshop at the 4WD and Van Centre, Isle of Man Business Park, Douglas. The site forms the curtilage of the existing 4 Wheel Drive Van and Hire Centre at the entrance to Barley Field Industrial Estate. The officer's report described the proposed building as a standard industrial unit finished in the trademark red colour, similar in appearance to other buildings on the estate. A notable issue raised during assessment was the high level of car parking provided on the site. The application was decided by the Planning Committee, which approved it in October 2005, with six conditions attached to the permission.
The Planning Committee approved the application. The proposed building was considered consistent with the character of the surrounding industrial estate, and the officer noted the high level of car parking provided as a key issue considered during assessment.
