EXHIBITION OF PROPOSALS FOR THE ROYAL ALEXANDRA HOSPITAL SITE
Taylor Wimpey invited the public to view their two proposals, in advance of of the submission of formal planning applications for the Royal Alexandra Hospital site.
Taylor Wimpey had prepared two schemes, one for total demolition of everything on the site and to include 138 flats, of which 54 were affordable, a GP’s surgery and a pharmacy. The second scheme retained the main Alex building and included 118 flats, but did not include a GP’s surgery or any affordable housing.
Neither of these plans meet the requirements of the planning brief. The planning brief is only of use if the Council insist that Taylor Wimpey adheres to it.
The company claims that these are the only approaches which are financially viable. The Council is to ask the District Valuer to look at these options in advance of seeing Taylor Wimpey’s figures.
