Furzedown Lodge site redevelopment
Redevelopment of the Furzedown Lodge site is stalled, awaiting input from council departments on land use.
The redevelopment of the Furzedown Lodge site, a project to redevelop council-owned land, has stalled due to council officers awaiting input from other departments regarding the most suitable land use. The Conservation and Heritage Advisory Committee expressed disappointment at the lack of movement in January 2026, noting that further progress depends on this departmental input.
Although a pre-application meeting for the Furzedown Lodge site redevelopment was completed, no further meetings or decisions are currently scheduled. The committee's Chair, Michael Jubb, stated in January 2026 that the situation was disappointing given the time already elapsed.
