A rainbow casts symbolic significance over the construction of a new link road, an essential component of the development of the Newcourt site shown in Image and Image, seen from Old Rydon Lane. As a report at http://www.exeter.gov.uk/CHttpHandler.ashx?id=630&p=0 says, "the use of Old Rydon Lane itself which is a relatively narrow thoroughfare would result in harm to local residential and visual amenity and exacerbate local traffic congestion difficulties".
