Department of Infrastructure Highways Division does not recommend approval of application 10/01805/C due to prematurity and non-compliance with West Ramsey Development Framework; Ramsey Town Commissioners strongly object citing highway safety, policy non-compliance, and loss of trees.
Key concern: application is premature and does not satisfy West Ramsey Development Framework para 17.1.2
