# 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 03.09.17 Conditions (if any)

The proposals are to change the use of the site from retail to a dance studio. It is difficult to assess what the traffic patterns of the dance studio will be in comparison with a retail useage. Whilst there are 2 spaces associated with the existing use, there are concerns over the potential peak in car parking demand during drop off and pick up times. Notwithstanding the submitted evidence in support of the application, further details are required to fully understand how the traffic generation from the proposed use would impact on the surrounding parking associated with the other units. It is recommended the applicant arrange a meeting to discuss the proposals in more detail with Highways prior to final comments.
