Plans for temporary storage area to finish major housing project

A planning application's been submitted for a temporary storage compound to help finish a multimillion pound housing project.

The proposals from Douglas Council are for a small park off Ballanard Road, while the Willaston estate is being refurbished. 

The council says the facility's essential to complete the remaining half of the ten-year project, while also reducing traffic around the site to improve safety and give residents a break from disruption. 

This new site, including a contractors' office and parking area, would allow the old compound off Barrule Road to be turned back into a green space.
