Memo produced 06.08.2018 Representation from the Department of Infrastructure (DOI) Highways Division- PA Ref 18/00711/B Planning Case Officer = Miss Lucy Kinrade Applicant Maurice Fargher & Kevin Sansom Site Address White Lodge Rheast Lane Peel Isle Of Man IM5 1BG Highway Services Comment made Do not oppose Highways Representation history for this case. DNO on 6-8-18 Conditions (if any) The existing garage is 2.7m wide, at least 4.9m in length with a 2.1m wide garage door. This is below the minimum single garage size of 3m x 6m with a 2.4m wide door to be counted as a parking space in the 'Manual for Manx Roads' (MfMR) design guide. However, it would still be able to accommodate a small parked car. The proposal would convert this garage into a storage area resulting in the loss of a site parking space. There is a second garage on the site of 3.9m wide, 4.7m long with a 3.2m wide door which is also below the minimum size in the MfMR, but it is still of a sufficient size to park a small car. This garage would be retained as at present for the development along with the driveway which can accommodate at least 4 parked cars. The parking standards in 'The Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016' require 2 car parking spaces for a dwelling. The site traffic and parking demand should not increase as a result of the proposal, and therefore the loss of the garage parking space is deemed acceptable as there would still be site parking provision in excess of the parking standards. There would be no changes to the existing site access arrangements. Highways Officer MB
