1/1 A DEVELOPER has come under fire for failing to build a £1m bridge that would serve a luxury housing development in an upmarket Hampshire town. Redrow was given planning permission for the Lymington Shores scheme in 2012 on condition it provided a footbridge over a railway line that separates the 168 waterfront homes from the town centre. The company wants New Forest District Council to lift the condition but has been told to reconsider its request. In a letter chief planning officer Claire Upton-Brown said: I am surprised by your suggestion that the bridge is not necessary to make the development acceptable in planning terms and that the council should consider a package of alternative improvements .
