# 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 10-8-18 Conditions (if any)

The site location cannot be identified from the plans provided as they do not show a large enough area surrounding the site with road names. This prevents the site from being identified on google maps and therefore existing site conditions cannot be viewed and additional information is required as a result to support the application. The application states that the proposed building is to house livestock in the winter and provide storage for feed and machinery. The new building would require part of an existing redundant stone building and a small garage to be demolished. It is unknown if the garage is currently used to accommodate vehicles and if this is the case, the applicant should clarify if the proposed building is to be a replacement facility for this parking. Alternatively the application should demonstrate that there is adequate hardstanding on the site to accommodate any parking that would be displaced. A revised site plan and site photographs could show this. There would be no changes to the existing site access arrangements as a result of the proposals. Highway Services request that the application is deferred to allow the applicant to consider the above.
