Background to Application. 1.1. Approval in principle for the erection of three dwellings on Fields 432533, 432534 and 432535, Phildraw Road, Ballasalla was granted by the Senior Planning Officer under delegated authority by decision notice dated 17th May 2012 – ref: PA. 12/00525/A. The in principle approval was granted subject to 7 conditions. 1.2. Condition 1 of the approval states; “Approval of the details of siting, design, external appearance of the building(s), internal layout, means of access, landscaping of the site (herein called “the reserved matters”) shall be obtained from the Planning Authority in writing before any development is commenced.” 1.3. This application seeks full and detailed approval of the means of access to the site directly off Phildraw Road. ### 2. The Proposed New Access. 2.1. Condition 4 of the in principle approval PA. 12/00525/A requires that; “The application for reserved matters must demonstrate that a safe access can be provided together with the retention or re-construction of traditional Manx banks along the frontage of the site.” 2.2. Furthermore, condition 7 of the in principle approval states; “This permission relates to the principle of the erection of three dwellings and the creation of a new access as shown generally in plans reference WL/12/1237/1 and WL/12/1237/2 both received on 3rd April 2012.” 2.3. The submitted plans confirm that the details of the proposed access, the subject of this reserved matter application, follow the details outlined in the plans referred to in condition 7 above. 2.4. The position of the proposed new vehicular access is identical to that approved in principle. The proposed sightlines at 2.4m. x 70m. are provided as approved at the in principle stage and illustrated on the plans referred to in condition 7 of the in principle approval. These sightlines were approved by the Department of Transport at the in principle stage following consultations and site meetings with the applicant’s representatives. It is confirmed that no changes to the approved sightlines are proposed as part of this reserved matter application. 2.5. In order to achieve the proposed sightlines, and as previously considered and approved in principle, the existing traditional Manx banks will be realigned and re-constructed along the frontage of the site as indicated on the submitted plans. Where possible existing Manx banks have been retained as agreed at the in principle stage. 2.6. Details of the proposed means of access, the subject of this application, are limited to the point of entry directly off Phildraw Road together with the works necessary to establish the required sightlines. Full details of individual driveways to directly service each of the three dwellings approved in principle will be provided in and incorporated with the reserved matters application seeking approval for the siting, design, external appearance and landscaping of the three dwellings to be submitted in due course. At this stage, the applicant wishes to construct and establish the means of access into the site as a first phase of development of the site the subject of the application. ### 3. Summary and Recommendation. 3.1. The submitted application seeking approval for the reserved matter of means of access to the site complies with the relevant conditions of the in principle approval granted under PA. 12/00525/A. 3.2. It is considered that there are no policy objections to the proposals under the adopted Area Plan for the South or the extant Strategic Plan. Under the provisions of the Area Plan for the South the land use designation continues to be Low Density Housing in Parkland which was the relevant designation when in principle was considered and approved. In addition, in highway terms there are no policy objections to the proposals under the relevant provisions of the Strategic Plan. 3.3. In light of the above considerations, it is respectfully requested that reserved matter approval is granted for the means of access to the site as set out in the submitted plans referred to above.
