DOT Highways Objection Letter
Dave Luton Design Engine House Studio Agneash Lonan ISLE OF MAN IM4 7NS
Date: 23 April 2003
Dear Sir
PA03/0055/C – Change of use from residential to Estate Agents, Ground Floor and Basement, Argyle, Harris Promenade, Douglas
The above mentioned application has been considered by the Network Planning Section and the following observations will be forwarded to the Planning Committee of the Department of Local Government and the Environment as the response of the Director of Highways on behalf of the DOT Highways Client Group.
Objection:
- Whilst the Department accepts that short term customer parking is available nearby, either on-street or in public car parks, the application is silent on arrangements for staff parking. In the Department’s experience, use of a vehicle is essential for estate agents.
In the absence of any opportunity for on-site parking, subject to the views of the Planning Committee, an acceptable alternative would be a legally binding long term parking contract.
Yours faithfully
Ken Ashcroft
K C ASHCROFT Network Planning Engineer
It should be noted that these observations relate only to matters affecting the highway and do not in any way prejudice any decisions which may be reached in relation to Town and Country Planning or Bye-Laws.
Cc The Secretary to the Planning Committee
