Although the Council welcomes the appropriate development of brownfield sites such as the above at Orry Street and whilst not raising an objection against the proposed development we would kindly ask that consideration is given to the guidance provided within the Manual for Manx Roads for bicycle storage in new developments.

We note that the plans show an enclosed rear yard providing ample space for the storage of both bins and bicycles however the plans omit to show where the enclosed bicycle storage will be situated within the yard.

We would kindly ask that the Planning Authority and the Applicant gives consideration to providing bicycle storage aligned to the recommendations contained within the Manual for Manx Roads LTN 1/20 Cycle Infrastructure Design.

Yours sincerely, S Salter Dilapidation Enforcement Officer Direct Line: 01624 696394 E mail: [email protected] P.O. BOX NO. 2, TOWN HALL, RIDGEWAY STREET, DOUGLAS, ISLE OF MAN, IM99 1AD TELEPHONE: (01624) 696300
