Planning Application Response

Date of Response: 19thNovember 2020 Date of Application: 22nd October 2020 Application Reference: 20/01170/B Location / Address: Courtlands 2 Marathon Avenue Douglas Isle Of Man IM2 4HZ Description: Erection of garage with storage over on existing parking apron Highways Comments:

For parking provision, the proposals will create a like-for-like swap from a parking apron to a garage, therefore not reducing the amount of parking available to the dwelling. The drawings show the proposed garage to exceed the minimum size standards for a single garage, found in Manual for Manx Roads as 6.0m x 3.0m with a minimum door width of 2.4m.

The location of the proposed garage is off a residential cul-de-sac, providing access to a few dwellings and onstreet parking. As a result, visibility requirements can be lowered, and will be accepted for this application.

The garage is of sufficient size to accommodate the storage of bicycles and other items. To meet low emissions objectives, consideration should be given to providing an electric vehicle charge point.

The proposal gives rise to no significant road safety or highway efficiency issues. Accordingly, Highway Services raise no opposition subject to the condition for the proposal to accord with Drawing No. 1559.1
