Date of Application: 08/06/18

Application Reference: 18/00540/B

Location: Plot 124, Phase 2, Royal Park, Ramsey

Description: Erection of detached house with integral garage (incorporating amendments to PA 16/00232/B)

Highway Comments: The proposal is for a change of house type compared to the previous 16/00232/B planning permission for the proposed dwelling. The existing approval is for the Cambridge house type and the current application proposes the Langley house type which was not an approved house type for that planning consent. Both have similar living accommodation and an integral garage.

The applicant should submit scale floor plans of both house types to demonstrate that the proposed integral garage complies with the minimum single garage size of 3m x 6m with a 2.4m wide garage door in the 'Manual for Manx Roads' design guide to be counted as a parking space. Alternatively, these plans are needed to show that the proposed integral garage is no smaller than the integral garage already approved so there would be no detriment to site parking as a result of the proposals.

There would be no changes to the site access or driveway parking arrangements as a result of the proposed changes according to the 16/00232/B approved and currently proposed site plans (note that these plans have not been provided at the correct size/scale).

Highway Services request that the application is deferred to allow the applicant to consider the above.

Recommendation: DEFER
