Wickham Laboratories want to move to Lower Upham
7:40am Sunday 6th June 2010 in News
AN inquiry into whether a controversial animal research laboratory can move to a Hampshire village concluded yesterday.
Wickham Laboratories is appealing against Winchester City Council’s refusal of its plans to move to Lower Upham. Planner said the company’s proposals were too big for a rural setting.
Following two days of evidence the appeal left Winchester Guildhall to enable planning inspector Jonathan King to visit the firm’s application site at Torbay Farm.
Dave Dimon, a city council planner, said: “In most cases the inspector will get his or her decisions out between a month and six weeks after the inquiry.”
