“NK/RUSK/008 – Land off Leasingham Land (sic) Ruskington - following concerns raised during the consultation in the summer of the suitability of the junction between Leasingham Lane and Lincoln Road, highways officers at Lincolnshire County Council reviewed this including undertaking a site visit and have highlighted that there is uncertainty about whether a suitable access can be achieved at this location bringing the developability of this site into question.”
Action: The Clerk to publish this information in the minutes and on social media.
