Officer's Report

1. The site is defined as the curtilage of one of the industrial buildings within the former quarry on Douglas Head.

1. The application relates to one bay, or unit, within this building, and to 3 associated parking spaces. The development is, I think, sub-division of the building; the use is stated to be light industrial (see letter of 1st June), whereas the established use is, as far as I can determine, warehouse.

1. See also 05/0768

1. Light industrial use may be acceptable, but the piecemeal approach to the use of the building and to the parking is not satisfactory.

I recommend refusal. We need to have a complete picture of the use of the whole building and the associated parking areas.
