## Reasons For Refusal
### Application Ref No: 03/01453/B On Review
1. By virtue of the number of garages proposed and the restricted visibility available to vehicle drivers exiting the site onto Patrick Street, it is judged that the proposed development would be contrary to the interests of road safety.
NOTE Notwithstanding the above, the internal dimensions of the garages would be below the recognised standard size set out in Manx Roads 1 and thus would be impractical for use by all but the smallest models of vehicle. The layout as shown would also preclude the safe manoeuvring of vehicles into and out of the garages. Such garage design and layout would hinder the intended use of the site as an off road parking facility.
NOTE This review has been considered by the Planning Committee on written evidence. Any additional submissions not previously circulated to interested parties are enclosed herewith.
