Highways Division deferred the application pending further information on excessive parking provision, ramp design, and pedestrian safety; Douglas Borough Council raised no objection.
Key concern: excessive parking provision exceeding Strategic Plan requirements with no justification
Department of Infrastructure (DOI) Highways Division
The Strategic Plan requires a minimum of 1 space per 1 bedroom apartment; an increase to 29 seems excessive; Provision of car parking is always a balanced judgement; there is no justification for such a large increase; the proposal mentions a ramp but no gradient details given, the ramp is also too narrow to accomodate 2 way traffic and pedestrian use; Highway Services requests that the application is deferred to allow the applicant to consider the above and provide additional information for a detailed assessment to be undertaken
