Claire White-French of Scallywags will now be able to run her training sessions at land off Corhampton Lane, Corhampton. Planning approval was granted at a recent Winchester City Council committee meeting, despite the chairman of the parish pleading chiefs to refuse it. We are in support of local businesses and we have several thriving in the parish in the right location, said Cllr Jerry Pett, chairman of Corhampton and Meonstoke Parish Council.
New hedging, fencing, small lamp columns and bollards are also planned. Parking spaces in the parish council car park will also be “reconfigured”, according to a report. “My own view is that it would seem to be pretty much a no-brainer,” said Cllr Rose. “Let’s just go with it, I can’t really see a problem.” He then proposed a motion to approve, seconded by Cllr Jane MacBean. Members voted unanimously to defer to grant conditional permission, subject to a consultation period.
