Memo produced 09.10.2018 Representation from the Department of Infrastructure (DOI) Highways Division- PA Ref 18/00933/B Planning Case Officer = Mr S Butler Applicant Mrs Mary Rish & Mr Alan Crowther Site Address Sea Cottage 3 Lime Street Port St. Mary Isle Of Man IM9 5ED Highway Services Comment made Do not oppose Highways Representation history for this case. DNO on 5-10-18 Conditions (if any) The existing rear yard is 5.2m wide and 5.1m in length. The 'Manual for Manx Roads' design guide specifies that a driveway space should be at least 2.5m x 5.5m. The yard could therefore potentially park up to 2 cars at present although not the largest size cars. It is unknown if the rear yard is currently used for parking, but the rear lane adjacent to it is only around 3.5m wide which would make it very difficult for a car to turn into and out of a standard size space in the rear yard. However, it should be feasible for one car to park in the rear yard as there should be sufficient turning space either side of it due to the width of the yard. The proposal would reduce the width of the rear yard to 4.7m which should still be adequate to enable a car to park, so the site parking provision should be unaffected by the development which should not create any new highway issues.
