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.”

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.
Application Ref.: 091789. Registered 19 Nov 2009.
31A Don Street. Replacement of windows with UPVC.
You generally have just three weeks to raise objections -
check the ‘date of expiry’.
