Do not oppose

Highways Representation history for this case. DNO on 08/09/17 Conditions (if any)

The proposal is to change the use of an industrial unit to a dog day care centre. There is car parking associated with the unit and teh proposal is located within an industrial estate.

This type of proposal will generate drop off and pick up traffic during the morning and evening peak hours and at lunch time. Whilst this proposal may generate more traffic than an industrial unit the surrounding road network can accomodate the traffic.

Parking requirements are difficult to assess for the proposed use; parking, other than staff will be of very short duration and this will permit a high turnover of vehicles during the drop off and pick up times. Given the width of roads and light traffic flows any overflow parking should not cause a problem.

Highway Services does not oppose this application.
