Conditional No ObjectionThe proposals as illustrated should constitute an improvement on the current appearance of the building, with one exception, the proposed signage.; we question whether stainless steel backlit by blue-code cathode lighting is the best signage solution.

Ramsey Town Commissioners
No ObjectionRamsey Town Commissioners considered the above application at their meeting on Wednesday 20th December, 2006 and have no objection to the proposal.
