The existing car park is to be altered by increasing the area by approximately 2 m to the south providing 17 parallel spaces, (there are currently 15 in this area). A further 5 spaces will be provided alongside and horizontal to the main building bringing the total number of spaces to 22. ### Representations The Department of Transport Highways Division has indicated that it does not oppose this application. Braddan Parish Commissioners have indicated that they have no objection to this proposal. The Disability Access Office has issued no comment in relation to this application. ### Assessment This application is considered to be relatively minor in terms of impact. The Department of Transport Highways Division has not raised any concerns in relation to road safety.
