A brief update on Lady Betty's Drive as I have a little more information.

Hampshire received 85 detailed comments on the plans for Lady Betty's Drive and is in the process of answering each one in detail. This takes quite a time.

As part of the planning application we need to outline what consultation has taken place, what comments were made, our response to all these comments and any changes to the plans that we intend to make as a result of the comments. All this has to be included in a planning application.

So there is still a lot of work to do.

The target date for submitting a planning application is late September, but this depends on completion of the paperwork.

Hope this helps.

It appears plans to submit the development for approval are on hold. The County Officers were surprised by the level of opposition from residents who had raised many issues which need to be resolved.
