Minutes of a Meeting of the Committee held at 18 Sandbourne Road<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \u00a0 <\/em>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Welcome.\u00a0 <\/strong>Ken welcomed Kate White to the meeting and welcomed visitors from Nuffield Hospital who were invited to outline the current planning application for alterations and extensions to their Lansdowne hospital.<\/p>\n

    Nuffield Hospital Presentation.\u00a0 <\/strong>David from the Bournemouth Nuffield Hospital and Emma from Liz Lean PR explained the need for the hospital to build new operating theatres.\u00a0 This would be done in the house adjacent to the main hospital building and the buildings would be linked with a bridge which also provided a resuscitation suite.\u00a0 The existing operating theatres, in the main building would be adapted for other uses.\u00a0 The committee approved the plans in principle but asked for the bridge design to be altered to make it more in keeping with the adjacent buildings. This meant that the very horizontal features and dark grey appearance be looked at and something far more in keeping with either the adjacent Victorian or 1980s buildings.\u00a0 David and Emma said they would take these comments to the architect for consideration before the final plans were presented to the Planning Committee, probably in June.<\/p>\n
