The main material consideration was highway safety, with Highways Division objecting that gates would cause vehicles to wait on the busy two-way street in Ramsey town centre, leading to congestion.
Permitted Development Order 1982
The Order allows erection of gates adjacent to a highway up to 1m height without planning permission. The officer assessed that refusing a 2m gate would be unsustainable at appeal since a 1m permitted development gate of same width would cause identical highway issues. This tipped the balance towards approval despite the objection.
