# Highways Comment

## Representation from the Department of Infrastructure (DOI) Highways Division–

Highway Services Comment made Defer - awaiting information Highways Representation history for this case. DEFER on 03/10/16 Conditions (if any)

The proposal is to make use of an existing 1 bedroom tourist unit as residential accomodation. The 2 storey house is located within a courtyard shared by 2 other properties; there are 5 car parking spaces indicated within the courtyard.

No details are provided regarding the ownership or alocation of the car parking spaces, or of the size of the adjacent dwellings therefore it is not possible to assess if the car parking provision is adequate.

Tourist use is likely to require 1 car parking space on a temporary basis; residential use requires 2 parking spaces and they will be in use all year. Residential use will place a greater strain on car parking provision than tourist use.

Highway Services request that the application is deferred until this matter is resolved.
