    People who were injured in the course of performing thier duty to queen and country no less, the people who will be in the front line defending us if we ever get attacked!!!!

    The people who didn't want this to happen should feel very very ashamed of themselves!!

      I am not entirely armed with the facts here, but from what I have read the residents have a point.

      Planning has been granted on an emotional level not on the facts.

      The residents are being painted as uncarring even though they have reasonable grounds to object.
      The property in question is a single family residence. It is being proposed as a hostel for up to six families including injured service personel who may or may no trrequire treatment.
      Can the area provide the extra parking?
      Just imagine the comings and goings at all hours.
      What about security?
      I am not qualified to give the above advice!

        LG,

        in this situation you have to look from a different perspective.

        Better in their neighbourhood than your neighbourhood, therefore this planning application and proposal is a good thing.

        This is called Reverse NIMBY

          It looks a nice big place. I can see no issues with parking etc....

          I can see no other reason for their objections...

            Thanks for that, yes it looks eminently suitable for purpose.

            What is annoying me with this is the emotive talk of not caring for injured service men and using that as an excuse for forcing through the plans.

            How far is it from the hospital, are there not suitable accomadations on the hospital site, would it not be better to provide on site facilities instead of here?

            All sorts of questions.

              I believe that servicement should be treated in military hospitals, which in turn could be paid for by the MOD...

              Feasible???

                The rest of the country has to put up with all sorts of unwanted developments be it places of worship, drug rehabilitation centres, Tesco's store etc.. etc.. and they are complaining about a centre for wounded servicemen??? I don’t care what the residents say it is a case of NIMBY but for once they didn't manage to buy their way out or nobble a judge.

                How long did they think they could keep this giant private park on London’s doorstep without some concession? They should count themselves lucky and just accept it.
                Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

                  There are probably plans afoot to turn it into an asylum centre in 2 years. Quite right LG, until we know the facts it is difficult to judge (not that it should matter on this board )

                    THis is not to treat servicemen. This is a place for their famililes to stay while they are being treated at the local rehab center.

                      They are laying on a minibus to cut down on the amt of traffic. They were going to build on the hospital site but this would have taken a few years.
