Hide AdA council spokesman said: “Feedback received from the consultation will be fed into a planning application which will be submitted in the spring. A decision on the application is expected summer 2012 and, subject to appropriate approvals, construction of the road will start later this year and be operational in early 2014.
“As part of the ongoing development of the planning application archaeological surveys are currently underway. Results from these on site surveys will also form part of the planning application.”
