no adverse traffic impacts
Highways Division raised no objections due to no adverse traffic impacts. Port St Mary Commissioners had no objections but recommended addressing Fire and Rescue Service concerns about unsafe fire escape routes before approval. Fire and Rescue Service recommended refusal due to inadequate fire escape provisions.
Key concern: new layout has escape from the bedroom through the hall which is no longer separated from the lounge and therefore escape is through a habitable room and is inherently unsafe in the event of fire
