21, Church Road, Onchan, Isle Of Man, IM3 1bf
This application sought permission to replace an existing garage door at 21 Church Road, Onchan with a window and door. The Planning Committee approved the application on 22 December 2011. The officer's report noted that two parking spaces are available to the rear of the dwelling, alongside a communal driveway area and unrestricted on-street parking on Church Road, which operates as a one-way system. These factors supported the view that the loss of the garage door would not create an unacceptable parking situation. The application was decided by committee and was subject to two conditions.
The Planning Committee of the Department of Infrastructure approved the application. The officer also recommended approval. Parking was considered acceptable given two spaces to the rear of the dwelling, a communal driveway, and the availability of on-highway parking.
