This application removes garages that are not used to store vehicles and provides car parking spaces and segregated footpaths enhancing pedestrian safety.

Car parking spaces adjacent to the public highway and insight of homes are more likely to be utilised than remote garages.

The improved street lighting and remote footpaths will improve pedestrian safety.

PA 12/01597/B Erection of a fence (retrospective) 16 Main Road Onchan Isle of Man IM3 1AS

This application should be approved with the fence constructed along the full frontage of the application site as indicated by the red line shown on the drawing date stamped 3 Dec 2012 to a scale of 1:250. A pedestrian access may be included however no planning permission should be granted that results in a gap large enough to accommodate a vehicle as the site has no vehicular access.

The applicant should be made aware that planning permission for the fence in no way implies permission for a vehicular access to the property.

This is in the interest of pedestrian and vehicular safety as a vehicle has been observed accessing the property using the dropped kerbs that have been provided solely for the use of vulnerable pedestrian using the controlled crossing.
