# 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 10-10-18 Conditions (if any)

There is no site parking on the property frontage and it is unknown if there is a parking space in the rear yard. However, the site parking provision is unlikely to change for the development. The car parking standards in 'The Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016' require 2 spaces for a dwelling, and 1 space per 15sqm for offices outside town centres. The amount of floor space is unknown, but the parking demand for a dwelling should be less than the staff parking required for offices. On this basis, the proposal should not create any new highway issues.
