no views, no adverse traffic impacts

Key concern: installation would be unsympathetic to this prominent building in the heart of the Conservation area
Laxey Village Commissioners
Conditional No ObjectionThe Board have no objections to the installation of an ATM. However the Board considers that the proposed location would be too visible in a conservation area, and would recommend that the applicant consider placing the ATM on the side of the building rather than the front.
Laxey Village Commissioners
ObjectionThe Commissioners strongly oppose the installation of an ATM to the front of the shop for the following reasons: The installation would be unsympathetic to this prominent building in the heart of the Conservation area. The footpath in front of the store is quite narrow and users of the facility would force pedestrians to walk into the road. The Commissioners are concerned that paper receipts from the machine could cause a litter problem in the village centre.
Department of Transport Highways Division
