Street Record, Peveril Square, Douglas, Isle Of Man, IM1 2bs
This application sought permission for highway and harbour access improvement works covering Bath Place, Peveril Square, part of Loch Promenade, and the Bottleneck car park in Douglas, Isle of Man. The Planning Committee approved the application on 18 August 2006, subject to 12 conditions. The officer report identified two main planning issues: the potential impact on the appearance and character of the Douglas Promenades Conservation Area, and possible effects on TT race provisions. Both issues were considered as part of the assessment leading to approval. The decision was made by the Planning Committee of the Department of Local Government and the Environment, with the case handled by Mr Chris Balmer.
