Ramsey Local Plan (predominantly residential use)
The policy zones the application site and surrounding area as predominantly industrial use. The officer assessed the residential proposal as contrary to this zoning, noting intensification would lead to detrimental conflict between industrial and residential uses. Ramsey Town Commissioners reinforced this with reference to the emerging West Ramsey Development Plan designating retained industrial.
DOT Highways and Ramsey Town Commissioners both objected to the application due to inadequate sight lines for road safety and prematurity pending the West Ramsey Development Plan designating the site as retained industrial.
Key concern: inadequate sight lines for road safety
Department of Transport Highways Division
ObjectionThe application fails to demonstrate that adequate sight lines for emerging vehicles can be provided within the site limits, contrary to the interests of road safety.; NB Gardeners Lane will become a district distributor road under current development proposals.
Ramsey Town Commissioners
ObjectionIt is considered that this application is premature until such time as the West Ramsey Development Plan is published. The draft Development Plan indicates that the area in question be designated as retained industrial, and it is assumed that such designation will be so indicated in the final document.
