This is a proposal to add various lights around the university. Should not be really be an issue, but if done badly could wreck the ambience of the area. There are quite a lot of flood lights proposed. These are cheap but do not put out the softest light.

The 3rd Don Crossing application, below, has been delayed a little until the environmental statement is issued, then the process will restart. This is expected to be available by the end of March, so keep an eye on the City Council planning web site,
3rd February 2010
Application reference 100135
The City Council has commenced the process of work on the third Don crossing by applying for planning permission to conduct detailed design for: -
“Construction of a new 2.4km long, generally 7.5m wide single carriageway wide road with associated footways, segregated cycleways, verges & earthworks, also clearance of some existing vegetation, trees and construction of a new bridge over the River Don, new pipe drainage, road signs, street lighting, landscaping and accommodation works.”
Details may be found on their web site at ;

Application reference 100315.
They were a bit slow getting their plans onto the web, but they are now available, and it can be seen that the route is identical to that developed for the 2006 proposal. Any objections must be sent to the council by the 19th February, which we feel is far too short for something as major as this.
