General Policy 2
GP2 requires development to respect the character, scale, and amenity of the area, avoid harm to neighbours, and protect highway safety. The officer assessed the roof alterations and dormer against GP2(b) and (c) for design and character, finding compliance due to negligible streetscene impact and rear location over fields. Neighbour impact was tested under GP2(g), and highways under GP2(h) and (i), both satisfied with no adverse effects.
Time limit
The development hereby approved shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this decision notice. Reason: To comply with article 14 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No2) Order 2013 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
Garage parking retention
The garage approved shall at all times be made available for the parking of private motor vehicles(s) and shall be retained available for such use thereafter. Reason: To provide adequate off-street parking.
DNO - Do Not Oppose (dated 28/06/2018)
Highway Services responded with no objection to the application, noting that the garage extension maintains sufficient parking capacity despite being slightly below standard dimensions, with no changes to site access or increased parking demand.
Highway Services
No ObjectionThe existing garage is 2.6m wide, 6m long with a 2.3m wide garage door. This is slightly below the minimum single garage size of 3m x 6m with a 2.4m wide door in the 'Manual for Manx Roads' design guide to be counted as a parking space. However, it is still considered to be of a sufficient size to accommodate a parked car.; The site parking demand would remain the same for the development and therefore the proposals should not create any new highway issues.; Highway Services does not oppose the application.; Recommendation: DNO
