Tiverton District Hospital Redevelopment

 The previous post of news on this site gave the TCS original response to the consultation on Options, see

 redevelopment__tiverton_hospital_site.doc

The Chairman and Secretary went to a second showing by Devonshire Homes.     To find that Option 4, which was the TCS favoured Option,  was not a possibility due to the high cost of moving the underground sewerage pipes and cables below William Street.  

The present plan is to;

lop off a corner of the District Hospital site;

make a road joining Newport Street and Willam Street and run diagonally to both;

put  retail units around the Gingko tree on the north side with a wide pavement where the children can cross Barrington Street for school;

put an anchor retail unit (or divide into 3 units or adapt to a doctor’s surgery) on the corner site adjacent to the new road, and houses behind;

provide entrance to houses will be from Barrington Street and exit into new road adjacent to Park Street;   

convert nurses home to offices.

In  effect this is a take it or leave it proposal.   If a member feels strongly we should object to this, please let our Secretary know.
