The plans for the redevelopment of the site that used to have the “temporary” (from the 1970s!) library show a really ugly set of buildings.
I added my comments to the plans at the Basingstoke & Dean Borough Council (B&DBC) website. It showed the status as still being in “consultation” even though the notices were put up back on 7 Feb 2008.
There’s a hearty discussion going on over at the Whitchurch Web’s forums.
I took some photos of the area as it is today and put them into our gallery.
There’s two plans because the site is within the Whitchurch conservation area: BDB/67896 and BDB/67897.
Interestingly, the local town council apparently “raised no objection” to these hideous plans!
