A CONTROVERSIAL housing scheme in Knowle appears to have been left in limbo.

Landowner Graham Moyse wants to build a housing estate on the site of Ravenswood House Hospital in exchange for opening his country meadow to the public.

But he hasn’t been in touch with parish chiefs or his own public relations team for weeks.

Nicki Oliver, Wickham parish clerk, said they hadn’t heard from him since he was asked to “demonstrate community support” for the scheme last year.

The scheme garnered a lukewarm reaction during consultation in October.

Mr Moyse did not respond to phone calls from the Hampshire Chronicle.
