A HOUSE in Bishop's Waltham is set to undergo work to provide additional flats in the area.

The scheme for Cunningham House in Claylands Road by Stratton House Developments Ltd was met with an objection by Bishop's Waltham Parish Council and 12 residents in the area.

The plan was for the home to have a hipped roof and five additional flats in the new space provided, the building already has some 20 flats in it.

The parish council objected as they feared the proposal could encourage parking on the road, and objecting residents had similar concerns.

However the Winchester City Council planning committee approved the scheme.
