Date of Response: 19/02/20 Date of Application: 07/02/20 Application Reference: 20 00070 B Location: 40 Droghadfayle Road Port Erin Isle Of Man IM9 6EN Description: Creation of driveway and vehicular access

Highways Comments: The creation of a new access and driveway to the side of the existing dwelling raises concerns in terms of its angle of approach.

New accesses are normally perpendicular to the kerb edge resulting in a vehicle crossing the dropped kerb at a right angle.

Nevertheless, the proposed access would afford good visibility in both directions due to it being located on the outer edge of a bend. Whilst there are some concerns over the proposed access arrangement, these concerns are not considered to warrant a reason for refusal.

As a result, the proposals are considered on balance to be acceptable.

Please attach a section 109a application form to any approval and a condition securing a surfaced and drained driveway so as to avoid any mud, chippings or surface water draining onto the public highway.
