# 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 6-8-18

Conditions (if any)

There would be no changes to the existing site access arrangements as a result of the development. The parking standards in 'The Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016' require 1 car parking space for a 1 bedroom dwelling. There is no existing site parking and no room to provide such, however the site is located in the town centre where public parking is available. The traffic and parking demand should be lower for the proposed dwelling compared to the previous use of the building as a retail unit, and therefore no new highway issues should arise. Highway Services does not oppose the application.
