Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 26 Oct, 10:27 · Archive

Test Valley Borough Council has approved 91 extra care apartments at the former North Hill Sawmill Yard in Chandler's Ford. The decision allows the next phases of the wider care village development to move forward.

Ampfield and Braishfield councillor Sally Yalden pushed for the application to be scrutinised by the Southern Area Planning Committee because of concerns raised locally. She said: 'I've followed this application closely and requested that it be considered by the Southern Area Planning Committee because of the concerns raised locally.'

While acknowledging the need for accommodation for older people, Cllr Yalden warned that the benefits of the development should not outweigh the impact on people living nearby. She has vowed to keep pressure on developers and monitor planning conditions now that permission has been granted.
