Memo produced 10.09.2018 Representation from the Department of Infrastructure (DOI) Highways Division- PA Ref 18/00838/B Planning Case Officer = Miss Lucy Kinrade Applicant Mark & Frances Guthrie Agent - Ellis Brown Site Address Rose Hill Lodge Richmond Hill Douglas Isle Of Man IM4 1JG Highway Services Comment made Do not oppose Highways Representation history for this case. DNO on 7-9-18 Conditions (if any) The proposed garage would replace the existing shed at the dwelling. The proposed site plan shows that the existing gated site access would not be changed as part of the development. The plans show that the existing driveway would be retained as at present with the new garage erected adjacent to it. The garage would be 6m wide and 6m in length with 2 no. 2.4m wide garage doors. The 'Manual for Manx Roads' design guide specifies that a double garage should have minimum internal dimensions of 6m x 6m with 2.4m wide single doors to be counted as 2 car parking spaces. The proposed garage would therefore be able to accommodate 2 parked cars. The driveway in front of the garage would be at least 8.2m in length, and due to its location adjacent to the site access it may require more than one turning movement for cars to be able to access and egress the garage. However, these turning manoeuvres could take place within the site without affecting the adjacent highway and could still allow vehicles to enter and exit the site in forward gear. The proposals should therefore not create any new highway issues. Highways Officer MB
