This application sought permission to refurbish existing lock-up garages and erect five additional garages at Heathfield Yard on Patrick Street in Peel. The application was decided by the Planning Committee and was refused in December 2003. The committee's decision turned on a single road safety concern: the combination of the increased number of garages and the restricted visibility available to drivers exiting the site onto Patrick Street was judged to be contrary to the interests of road safety. The formal refusal notice records 1 refusal reason.

The Planning Committee refused this application on 19 December 2003. The sole stated reason was that the number of garages proposed, combined with restricted visibility for drivers leaving the site onto Patrick Street, would create an unacceptable risk to road safety.
