Shamrock Quay has developed as a successful marina with supporting small scale retail, leisure and business uses. Land at Shamrock Quay is safeguarded for industries such as small boat builders, ship builders and ship repairing, marine services and industries which require access to the water. The council will allow ancillary B1 and B2 uses which support the water-related industries and permit improvements to the quality of the environment and access as redevelopment opportunities arise. Some of the units within Shamrock Quay within the area shown on the Proposals Map have lawful consents for a broad range of commercial activities. The Policy does not restrict the continued use of these activities or changes of use within Part A of the Town and Country Planning (Use Classes) Order 2005.
