The new site would be com- parable on a production scale to the current operation which comprises about 3,000 square metres of glasshouses and polytunnels along with associ- ated sheds, it said. The plans added: “The pro- posed location of the buildings hasbeenspecificallydesigned to be situated in the least sensitive location along the established hedgerow/screening along- side the east boundary of the field. “We would be prepared to consider further landscape planting with indigenous trees

New Forest National Park. The scheme has come under fire from neighbours who have campaigned to protect the qui- et character of the rural roads, where Oakhaven Hospice is also located. As reported in the A&T, New Forest District Council last year allocated land there for devel- opment in its Local Plan poli- cies, including the site of North- field Nursery. The proposed relocation, as a result, has sparked 17 ob- jections to the New Forest National Park Authority from neighbours, with one saying: “I am very concerned that we are heading down the ‘slippery mined by the council between July and September, fewer than 70% were within required time- frames.

PLANS by a plant nursery to re- locate from land in Pennington earmarked for up to 100 homes have been attacked as a “slip- pery slope” towards further de- velopment.

HOLD-UPS in reaching deci- sions on planning applications have left BCP Council at risk of national intervention, its leader has warned. Between July and September it failed to hit any of its time targets, with “considerable” falls in some areas following a post-lockdown backlog, writes Josh Wright of the Local Democ- racy Reporting Service . With rates now below the lev- el at which the government can begin making decisions instead, council leader Cllr Drew Mellor said this was “not far away” un- less improvements were made.

The ideahadbeenconsidered prior to the formation of the council in 2019 and had been raised by Cllr Phipps during her time as the cabinet member for planning, under the previous Unity Alliance administration. However, its consideration was left to a working group already carrying out a review

The idea was dismissed by the chair of BCP Council’s committee, Cllr David Kelsey, who said: “Having three sep- arate committees is cum- bersome, it’s costly and it’s time-consuming.”
