Highways Comment

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

Highway Services Comment made Do not oppose with condition/comment Highways Representation history for this case. DNOC on 29/09/16 Conditions (if any)

The proposal is to change the use of a site from light industrial to residential. The application contains no details regarding the type or number of dwellings or the proposed access arrangements.

The site is fronts onto South Quay and there are currently several units each with direct access onto the highway; residential development is likely to reduce the points of access.

Due to the change in nature of traffic generation in terms of type and peak hour movements a transport assessment is required assessing the impact on the round a bout junction at South Quay and Douglas Head Road.

Highway Services does not oppose this application subject to the following condition:

1. Any application for reserved matters must have full details of access, parking and servicing provision and a transport assessment.

Reason: In the interests of road safety.
