Janitorial products supplier WDS limited has applied for planning permission (22/00865/B) to demolish its existing warehouse and build 18 light industrial units.

Based at the Millmount Complex in Douglas (situated behind Mylchreests motors), the application’s accompanying information states that the units ‘would be simple in structure and cladding and allow tenants or purchasers to adapt the units to suit their needs, pending the necessary statutory approvals’.

The Independent contacted WDS Limited to find out whether every single one units was being built for commercial purposes, but did not receive a response. Each unit would be 1,000 square feet in size.
