Update on Construction along Pound Lane, Sonning
The latest information I received was that Hallmark Care Company intended to construct an 80-bed care home with basement parking along Pound Lane. However, more recent updates indicate that planning permission was denied, and their appeal has also been dismissed.
Additionally, there was a proposal for the development of 17 homes, which residents opposed based on what I’ve read.
So, what’s currently happening there? I haven’t been able to find any recent updates beyond the rejected proposals. I was looking forward to the care home development since I’m a care assistant, and it would have been practically in my backyard.
It sounds like you have been following the developments closely! As of now, it appears that the care home proposal by Hallmark Care was indeed refused, and the appeal was dismissed, which means that nothing is currently being built there.
Regarding the 17 homes, if there were strong objections from residents, it’s possible that those plans have also been put on hold or scrapped. For the most current information, I recommend checking the local council’s planning website or contacting them directly for any updates. Local community forums or social media groups can also be a good source for the latest news from residents in the area. Hopefully, there will be a new development that moves forward soon, especially since it would have been great to have a care facility so close to home!
