# Highway Comments

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

Highway Services Comment made Defer - awaiting information Highways Representation history for this case. DEFER on 5-4-18 Conditions (if any)

The proposal seeks approval in principle for the erection of a dwelling on vacant land. It is unclear which matters are to be determined as part of this application as the applicant has not ticked any of the boxes on the application form to specify this. The applicant needs to clarify this for Highway Services to be able to properly assess the proposals. There is an existing field gate to the site. The position of the site access for the development, with associated highway visibility splays in both directions, is not shown on a scale site plan and therefore it is unclear whether or not suitable access to the site could be achieved. Splays of 2.4m x 25m would be required with no obstructions above 1.05m in height within the splay areas. The site boundary treatment and adjacent railway may impede visibility. The application states that the development would create an on-site turning area and parking for up to 3 cars. This would be an acceptable level of parking subject to an appropriately designed site layout. Highway Services requests that the application is deferred to allow the applicant to consider the above.
