MAJOR plans to create a Tropical Wings style zoo at a garden centre have been thrown out by council bosses. Owners of the former Hilltop Nursery, in Dowsett Lane, Ramsden Heath submitted the exciting plans for a small animal, reptile and bird zoo to the delight of residents. But after Chelmsford City Council refused the plans, family firm H.E Smith and Son Ltd admitted they are unlikely to revise plans and resubmit them. Council bosses raised concerns about a lack of details and the impact on green belt land. Paul Smith, 50, director. said without the zoo it may not be financially possible to run the site as a garden centre.
