No ObjectionThe parking standards in 'The Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016' require 2 car parking spaces for a dwelling. There is an existing attached garage. The existing driveway is served by dropped kerbs and can accommodate 2 parked cars which complies with the parking standards.; There should be no increase in traffic or parking demand for the proposed tourist use of the dwelling compared to the current residential use.; The proposals would not involve any changes to the existing site access and parking arrangements, and therefore no new highway issues should arise.; Recommendation: DNO
