The local authority wants to use The Roundhouse for 53 tents

Braddan Commissioners has submitted its application to have campers at The Roundhouse during the TT fortnight from next year onwards. 

Planning documents suggest there would be room for 53 tents on the village green whilst six campervans could be accommodated on the exercise track. 

The commissioners says that it has spoken with neighbouring residents and has also held drop-in sessions to inform residents of its plans - it doesn't think there will be any objections to the plans. 

It adds that the TT fortnight is 'typically quiet' at The Roundhouse and believes the proposal has the potential to generate revenue which could ease some of the 'financial burden' on Braddan ratepayers.

The application is currently pending consideration can be found here
