This application sought permission to create off-road parking and a new vehicular access at Rhenwyllan Cottage, Beach Road, Port St. Mary. The property sits directly alongside the road, with a single-storey shed to the west. The officer report identified a significant highway safety concern: visibility to the east from the proposed access point could be as little as 4 metres, obstructed by the existing dwelling. This was considered a serious risk to road users. The application was refused by delegated decision on 10 November 2008, consistent with the officer's recommendation.
