Drayton Parish Council will be hosting an additional full council meeting this month to accommodate discussion of potential development to the former David Rice Hospital site.

The additional meeting will be held on Wednesday, March 8 at 6.30pm. All residents affected by the proposal can meet with the parish council at Drayton Junior School on School Road.

The Lind Trust has resubmitted an application to build 29 homes on the former David Rice Hospital site off Drayton High Road, in Drayton.

Chairman of Drayton Parish Council, Graham Everett, said: 'The parish council is aware of the considerable local interest and concern regarding the current planning application for dwellings on the former David Rice Hospital site.'

The plans will not be discussed at the meeting due to be held on March 2.
