My view is the same as that stated by the local authority which I have copied here and primarily about the proposal to build 3 story accommodation blocks. Three story accommodation blocks will be totally out of character with the local area, be intrusive and block views for residents. “With the benefit of making an assessment with site of the relevant plans, the elevations and site plan clearly show a group of large buildings of a design lacking in architectural merit and of a size and proximity that would cause harm to the adjacent Conservation Area. The location of four no. three storey blocks 12m in height, two of which are within 20m of the low slung, predominantly single storey historic barrack buildings is considered overbearing and harmful to the setting of the Conservation Area.” Gosport Borough Council. Also: the public transport is inadequate with only 4 buses a day and none to suit transport to work for employees. Also: the treatment of the King Charles III costal path is cursory and unsuitable.
