The public have had another chance to have a say on a major redevelopment near Winchester.
The developers of Bushfield Camp held another consultation last Friday and Saturday which attracted around 240 people to the Cathedral refectory and Badger Farm Community Centre.
The landowner, the Church Commissioners, with developer Legal & General Investment Management and Gisborne, is proposing a business park on the footprint of the army base.
The principle has already been conceded with the former army base earmarked for business use in the Local Plan for the last ten years.
Most of the site would be retained as open space and managed to enhance its chalk downland.
Bushfield Camp has been unused since the Ministry of Defence vacated the site south of Badger Farm in the 1970s. A planning application is expected in the summer.
Local MP, Steve Brine, dropped into the Cathedral session this afternoon as part of his constituency Friday. He said; "This is clearly a major redevelopment on a key site so it has to be right. It's welcome the proponents of the scheme are consulting so widely with my constituents."
