Supports low level planting near Mrs Crellin's property to avoid shading issues under Trees and High Hedges Act; no problem with 1.8m fence with hedge line along roadside for screening, ease of maintenance, and avoiding tree issues near building
DOI Highways objected to the application due to highway safety concerns from increased car parking, pedestrian access onto the A18 TT course, and higher maintenance needs; Douglas Corporation had no objection.
Key concern: objection on highway safety grounds due to increased traffic and pedestrian movements from excessive car park, pedestrian access onto A18 TT course without footway, and higher maintenance needs
DOI Highways
ObjectionObjection on the grounds that 1. car park is excessive for it's proposed use and may lead to additional use of the access beyond that permitted in condition of PA 14/00154/B 2. the proposed pedestrian access is a new access onto the TT course where there is no footway - this will lead to an increase in pedestrians crossing the road. This does not comply with the GP 2 (h) and (i) of the strategic plan.; if these measures remain part of the application then highways will be submitting an objection on the grounds of highway safety due to increased traffic and pedestrian movements.; Spoken to agent asking that the fencing be moved 0.50m back in order to maintain sightline
