Plans to build nine houses in the heart of Whitchurch have raised controversy amongst residents of the town.
The houses are proposed on a patch of land at The Lawn, adjacent to Church Street and the River Test. The Lawn is the former home of Lord Denning, one of the most notable judges of the 20th century and one of Whitchurch’s most famous sons.
The plans have proved controversial to residents of the town, who have raised concerns over traffic, the impact on the conservation area and impacts on the environment.
