Supports the proposal for efficient use of residential plot, ancillary development for flexible living, and alignment with housing pressures.
No objection subject to access arrangements per drawings, after amendments addressing parking, manoeuvrability, EV wiring, and drainage.
DOI Highways responded that the parking provision is insufficient due to undersized garage spaces likely leading to on-street parking pressure, recommending removal of the four existing garages for larger courtyard spaces.
Key concern: dimensions of the four existing garage spaces are insufficient and under Manual for Manx Roads guidance standards
Department of Infrastructure Highways Development Control
Conditional No ObjectionThe four existing garage spaces measure under the current Manual for Manx Roads guidance standards; It is requested by Highways that the four existing garages along the northern boundary of the site are removed and instead courtyard spaces are provided; This will provide larger parking spaces with more manoeuvrability and will less likely result in any on-street parking need
Conditions requested: the four existing garages along the northern boundary of the site are removed and instead courtyard spaces are provided; provision of electric vehicles charging facilities to support sustainable transport goals; provide secure and covered bicycle parking for the apartments
