Transport Policy 7
Requires parking provision in new development per Department standards. Proposal failed as garage conversion removed turning facilities within curtilage, leading to highways objection.
no objection
note received on fire safety of internal layout (not a material planning consideration)
Highways Division objects due to loss of turning facilities; Fire Safety raises concerns about smoke detection and open plan layout; Michael Commissioners have no objection.
Key concern: loss of turning facilities within the curtilage of the property
Highways Division
ObjectionThe extension will not offer turning facilities within the curtilage of the property.; Your proposal will be removing the current turning area afforded by the garage. The creation of a lay by will result in vehicles having to turn on the public highway or using private property to undertake this manoeuvre.; The Department of Transport sustain their objection to your proposal because it will increase the requirement for vehicle turning in inappropriate locations.
Fire and Rescue Service
The submitted plans do not indicate any domestic smoke detection and the open plan living room / kitchen / breakfast & hall is inherently unsafe, the applicant should result with the Fire Safety Department to discuss the above matters.
