An application to build a new nursery on a wooded area in Whitchurch has split the local community.
Whitchurch Montessori Nursery and Forest School has applied to relocate from All Hallows Church to former railway land located between Park View and Wells Lane. Under the plans, the school would lease the site from Hampshire County Council, and place a prefabricated building on the site, as well as building a carpark and drop off area.
The plans have caused a strong reaction, with many comments on both sides of the argument debating the school’s necessity, site suitability and environmental impact.
