Department of Transport Highways Division
ObjectionObjection: The sight lines available from the proposed are insufficient to permit safe advance visibility of vehicles on the highway or pedestrians on the footway contrary to the interests of road safety.; Having examined the site, I see the sight lines are effectively zero, due to the prominent masonry pillars, hedges and railings.; DoT is simply not interested in the retention of pleasing infrastructure at the expense of road safety. To be successful, we need sight lines . This is the minimum stopping sight distance at 30 mph .
Ramsey Town Commissioners
No ObjectionAny proposal for the erection of a dwelling and garage should ensure that such development takes account of areas of localised flooding which have occurred as a result of the close proximity of the Lheighany River.
