Field opposite station road - Lou (8th Jul 2014 - 10:04:06) Hi does anybody know what it going on with the metal barriers going up in the field opposite the Station Road and Portsmouth Road Junction?

Re: Field opposite station road - Diane (8th Jul 2014 - 12:46:43) I saw the same this morning with some fairly heavy equipment on the land. Looked like they were making a path through again

Re: Field opposite station road - g renouf (8th Jul 2014 - 14:19:42) it was on the front of last weeks herald starting on foundations of medical centre???? start building keeps planning app open a bit odd but thats developers for you

Re: Field opposite station road - liz (9th Jul 2014 - 08:34:58) Thought they only had outline planning permission. Don't you need full permission before you start work in case there are conditions attached?

Re: Field opposite station road - g renouf (9th Jul 2014 - 11:34:02) makes you wonder doesnt it? all a but odd , red herring , fishy etc when no proper decision made

Re: Field opposite station road - SOS Bohunt Manor Community Action Group (9th Jul 2014 - 18:16:00) The excavations are related to the need by the developers, GVI Ltd, to make a notional start on the Proposed Medical Centre to ensure that the current planning permission does not default. The full planning application for housing, etc on this site located within the South Downs National Park is awaited. Once lodged the SOS Bohunt Manor Community Action Group will respond accordingly.

Re: Field opposite station road - a (9th Jul 2014 - 21:38:52) I'm not too up to date on all this but Why are we getting a medical centre? We have two doctors surgeries...or is it going to be a community hospital thing?

Re: Field opposite station road - Maria (9th Jul 2014 - 23:39:14) It won't actually be anything other than foundations until there is NHS investment. Mysterious wording in last weeks Herald "which will secure planning permission in perpituity or until such time as circumstances change to allow the new surgery to be fully built"....what does that mean exactly???

Re: Field opposite station road - J (10th Jul 2014 - 07:56:49) There are so many part time doctors, maybe they want to give them each a room? Eventually we could get a different doctor for every day of the week, now there's a thought!

Re: Field opposite station road - liz (10th Jul 2014 - 09:22:26) Usual inaccuracies in the pro-development Herald if the report on here is correct. - You cannot secure planning "in perpetuity". I'm no expert but I think it lasts about 5 years. If no funding is found from the cash strapped NHS in that period then the developers will no doubt re-apply - for more housing on that piece of land.

Re: Field opposite station road - Val (10th Jul 2014 - 12:07:07) There is no such thing as planning in perpertuity - that is true. If work is not started within the time allocated usually between 3 and 5 years depending of the conditions of the application and no renewal is applied for, then the permission lapses. However, if foundations are put in place, which is what is happening at Bohunt Manor for the doctor's surgery, then there is no time limit for the commencement for the rest of the building works. In other words once the foundations are built the actual building work could take place in say in 20 years' time. Unless EHDC put in a specific time to complete clause when the permission was granted

Re: Field opposite station road - sjenner (10th Jul 2014 - 12:24:42) Disgraceful that the community should have to put up with the eyesore indefinitely! The whole planning system is fraught with loopholes that allow these people to get away with such activity.

Re: Field opposite station road - liz (10th Jul 2014 - 12:56:52) Val - Can they do this even if it is only Outline planning permission?

Re: Field opposite station road - Val (12th Jul 2014 - 14:51:23) No this only applies to detailed planning permission.
