DEVELOPERS who build without planning permission came under fire from city councillors over a scheme in a village near Winchester. Mr A Bennett put in retrospective application after not abiding by planning permission that had been given for three houses, a committee heard. The three two-storey houses, which replaced a 1960s bungalow, were higher than the permission at The Pines, Downs Road, South Wonston. The scheme attracted nine objections from neighbours including Grant Johnston who said the houses were now overbearing and invaded neighbours privacy. Bem Kelly, agent for the developer, told the committee he disagreed they were overbearing and said there was several other two-storey buildings in the area.

Davis Kickabout in Badger Farm POCKETS of land in Badger Farm including the Davis Kickabout have been sold – but not to the parish council. The community had been fundraising to purchase the plots, which hit the market following the liquidation of building company Davis Development. But the land has instead been snatched up by an unknown buyer. A spokesperson for the parish council said: Badger Farm Parish Council are disappointed we weren’t successful today in purchasing the land known as Davis Kickabout, along with surrounding pockets of land. We don’t know who purchased the land and what plans they may have but we as a parish council intend to work very closely with Winchester City Council and Hampshire County Council to preserve this land for the future recreational use of our residents. We will put updates on our website and facebook page as we know more.
