DEVELOPERS Linden Homes have assured the people of Ringwood their voices will be heard as plans go on display unmanned later this month.

Phase two of the development at Crow Lane and Crow Arch Lane will be on display at Ringwood Gateway.

Ringwood Town Council's planning committee were made aware of the situation by deputy town clerk Jo Hurd at a recent committee meeting.

In response to the concerns raised by councillors, Linden Homes have affirmed their position.

A spokesperson for the developer said: "The outline permission and plans were approved by New Forest District Council back in 2014. This dealt then with the principle issues, such as the amount of development, and approved accesses to the site from Crow Lane and Crow Arch Lane.

"Detailed approvals for Phase 1 and all site wide infrastructure were approved by the Council earlier this year.

"We are now developing the detailed design of the remaining residential areas. This includes the layout and design of buildings and landscaping.

"These detailed issues will be most relevant to those living closest to the development, who should be the focus of our consultation on these plans.

"That is why we invited 35 households who are neighbours to the Phase 2 part of the site to meet with us individually, and have visited a number of them this week to explain to them the draft proposals. Most of those who accepted met us at their own property.

"The public exhibition is an opportunity for the wider community to view our plans. Any comments or questions can be directed via our manned ‘0800’ community phone line, website or through comment cards available at the exhibition. We welcome any and all comments that visitors to the exhibition wish to make on the detailed aspects we are apply for.”

Phase two of the plan details the remaining 113 of the 175 home site.

The exhibition at Ringwood Gateway takes place between Wednesday July 19 and Saturday July 22.
