A planning application has been made for 16 additional self storage units situated in the existing carpark of the facility in Jurby Industrial Estate.
Elliott Storage’s application would also see a small decrease in the number of parking spaces at the site.
Its application says the site, which has 66 units, is operating at maximum capacity with a waiting list “stretching for months”.
It added: “In January 2024 the client attempted to alleviate this demand by applying for planning permission to erect a second storey on the existing facility in order to increase the number of available units, however this was subsequently refused.
“However, having liaised with Highway services over the previous application it was clear that the car parking facilities at the Jurby Storage facility were over generous and that additional units could be installed in the carpark without having a negative effect.”
The company said it has also spoken to its clients, who say it has enabled them to grow their own businesses and support this development which it says would help add to the local economy.
