How will the racers cope with the loss of parking space.

Will this affect the TT paddock ?

Who knows, but if the IOM Douglas Corporation lease out long term parking places to those people that have had to move their Motor homes from their own properties then it could end up with problems.
Looking at the planning application its the entire rear paddock (the hard standing area) that's having its use changed to parking for motor homes and commercials. Where would they put these vehicles during race periods especially if the spaces are leased out.
