**Document:** Highway Comments 2 **Application:** 18/00540/B — Erection of detached house with integral garage (incorporating amendments to PA16/00232/B) **Decision:** Permitted **Decision Date:** 2018-07-12 **Parish:** Lezayre **Document Type:** consultation / highways_response **Source:** https://planningportal.im/a/11667-lezayre-plot-124-garage-dwelling/documents/983980 --- # Highway Comments 2 ## Balmer, Chris From: MARIA BARRY Sent: 09 July 2018 12:33 To: Balmer, Chris Cc: Kelly, Catherine Subject: Re: FW: 18/00540/b -Plot 124, Royal Park, Ramsey Hi Chris It is not ideal for the proposed integral garage size to be smaller than the minimum dimensions proposed in the 'Manual for Manx Roads' (MfMR) design guide and the previously approved garage size for the different house type. However, the proposed driveway size of 6m wide and 5.9m in length would be the same as the previously approved application which is sufficient to accommodate 2 parked cars and a pedestrian path to the dwelling as specified in the MfMR. The driveway also complies with the parking standards in 'The Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016' which requires 2 spaces for a dwelling. The development is therefore deemed acceptable and Highway Services does not oppose the application (DNO).

From: George Li [mailto:gli@hartford.im] Sent: 02 July 2018 08:59 To: Balmer, Chris Cc: Paul Brew Subject: 18/00540/b -Plot 124, Royal Park, Ramsey Good morning Chris Further to the questions raised by Highway Services, I would provide the following response; - • The garage in the Langley house type is smaller than the one within the Cambridge house type. The sizes are; - o Cambridge 2.7m x 5m - o Langley 2.45m x 5m - • Both garage are therefore smaller than that recommended within Manual for Manx Roads. - • However, the driveway in front of the both house types, intended for 2 cars, has a minimum size of 6m wide by 5.9m in length, please see attached drawings, in compliance with Manual for Manx Roads, section 11.6.2 & 11.6.3. - • Two parking spaces is proposed to be provided on all driveways within this development, to allow the potential future conversion of garages into a habitable room by property owners, using Permitted Development rights. I trust the above and attached suitable addresses the queries raised by Highway Services, but please do not hesitate to come back to me if you have any further questions.
