## Planning Application Response

Email: highwaysdevelopmentcontrol@gov.im Officer: AD

Date of Response: 10/02/2021 Date of Application: 26/01/2021 Application Reference: 21/00090/B Location / Address: 6 Highfield Crescent Onchan Isle Of Man IM3 3BH Description: Erection of extension, replace garage door with a window and widening of driveway and vehicular access Highways Comments: The proposal is acceptable in terms of highways. The Strategic Plan 2016 parking requirement for a single dwelling is two spaces. The existing drawings indicate the provision of a garage space and two driveway spaces. The proposed plans would replace the garage for additional interior living space and extend the driveway to provide three parking spaces. The proposal meets the Strategic Plan 2016 parking standard. Visibility of 2.4m x 43m has been provided from the new driveway space. This is at an acceptable level for the street and speed limit on it. The alteration to the highway, in the form of dropping kerbs, requires a Section 109(A) Highway Agreement to be made post planning consent. The proposal raises no significant road safety or highway network efficiency issues. Accordingly, Highway Services raise no objection to the proposal subject to the condition that the access arrangements, including visibility splays, accord with drawing titled ‘site and location plan’. An advisory for a Section 109(A) highway Agreement to apply too. Recommendation: DNOC
