# Highways Comment

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

Highway Services Comment made Do not oppose with condition/comment Highways Representation history for this case. DNOC on 08/11/16 Conditions (if any)

The proposal is to convert a former guest house to 4 self contained apartments. The building is located within a row of terraced properties constructed at a time when off street parking was not provided and there is no scope to provide parking on the site.

Castle Mona Avenue is located within easy access to Douglas town centre services and employment opportunities and there is controlled car parking provided on street.

The existing use as a guesthouse, or a rooming house as stated by the application, would have a parking generation although different from that of residential apartments.

Highway Services accepts the justification provided in the application for a reduction in the car parking standard and does not oppose this application.
