REPRESENTATIONS Ballaugh Parish Commissioners:- "No objection" Highways Division:- "Do not oppose." The owners/occupiers of Ballathoar Court, Glen Road, Ballaugh, have comment to the application but have no objection. The Authority has received no other privately written representations objecting to the application. ## Assessment The main issue with the proposal is whether two off road parking spaces still remain within the application site, in accordance with the Isle of Man Strategic Plan. From visiting the site it was apparent that more than the required two off road parking spaces are currently provided on the existing driveway and external parking area and therefore the loss of the existing garage would not have any adverse impacts upon highway safety in this locality, due to vehicles parking on street. RECOMMENDATION In conclusion, it is recommended that the planning application be approved on the planning policy grounds that the proposed development would be acceptable to the Isle of Man Strategic Plan (June 2007). ### Party Status It is considered that the following meet the criteria of Government Circular 1/06 and should be afforded interested party status:- Ballaugh Parish Commissioners Department of Transport Highways Division The owners/occupiers of Ballathoar Court, Glen Road, Ballaugh ### Recommendation Recommended Decision: Permitted Date of Recommendation: 21.07.2009 ### Conditions and Notes for Approval / Reasons and Notes for Refusal ### C : Conditions for approval
