# Highways Comment

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

Highway Services Comment made

Do not oppose

Highways Representation history for this case. DNO on 16.10.17 Conditions (if any)

The proposals are to extend the hair salon operation onto the first and second floor which is currently a flat. The proposed use would offer the same treatments but in a more spacious environment. In terms of a highways impact, there will be some increase in numbers of clients using the salon which may lead to an increase in trips to and from the Salon. Some of these trips maybe car orientated resulting in an increase in on street parking demand. It is difficult to substantiate whether this is material enough change when comparing it against the existing use as a flat. Furthermore, the site is located in the town centre of Peel where there are good public transport links and residential properties close by where the majority of clients may come from. Based on the above, it is the view of Highway Services that the proposals would not be materially different to the existing use and on balance are considered acceptable. There are no suggested conditions.
