- The removal of the section of boundary wall and railings would result in the proposed garage extension appearing as an unattractive dominant feature within the street scene which would have a harmful impact on the character and appearance of the street scene which would be contrary to General Policy 2 (b) and (c) of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan.
- The proposed access would not provide satisfactory manoeuvring space, and the reversing of vehicles in and out of the proposed garage may have an unacceptable effect on the traffic flows on the highway which would be contrary to General Policy 2 (h) and (i) of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan.
