HSBC Plans High Street Move

HSBC is planning a move into Douglas’ high street, with an application submitted to modify an existing shop in Strand Street.

The application (22/01287/B) is for 88 Strand Street, the current base of Monsoon and Accessorize.

As well as moving its branch from RIdgeway Street, the bank intends to install a new shop front, with two ATMs, as well as erecting signage and a new entrance.

For security reasons, the bank has not released internal plans for the building. 

Gef has asked HSBC for a comment on its application and plans for its existing Ridgeway Street base.
