The officer assessed the proposal against General Policy 2 of the IOMSP 2016, concluding it complies as it respects the predominantly residential site and surroundings in terms of siting, scale, form,…
General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in accordance with land-use zoning if it respects site/surroundings in siting/layout/scale/design, does not harm amenities/character/road safety/parking, and meets other criteria like access and services. The officer tested the proposal's scale (smaller than adjacent garage block), siting (behind existing structures, non-prominent), parking loss (acceptable per Highways and applicant evidence of excess provision), and amenity impacts (none due to separation/distances), finding full compliance with no tensions noted.
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 26 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2019 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
Restrictive use
The use of the five garages, garden equipment and tool stores, and bin store hereby permitted shall be limited to Kings Reach Residents Association Limited and its residents, in the undertaking of activities for Kings Reach Village and shall not be used for any other commercial or business without a planning application first being submitted to and approved in writing by the Department. Reason: The site is located in a Predominantly Residential area and the proposals/loss of parking have been judged on the basis of need of Kings Reach Village.
No significant negative impact upon highway safety, network functionality and/or parking as there is enough parking and garage space within the site to cater for the demand on-site after removal of some site parking for the proposals.
