I should probably declare an interest in seeing increased nursery provision in Forest Hill, particularly so close to my expected baby's grandparent's house.

As far as I am aware there is not a single other house in Liphook Crescent that has been converted into flats, infact there are few converted houses in Tewksbury Lodge. Converting residential properties to child care is not so unusual and is probably safer than lots of cars heading to a single destination in the town centre.

I don't really believe the claim of the applicant that all parents would bring their children by foot, that is not what happens on the hill. However, this section of Liphook has few parked cars because there are only houses on one side. It is a difficult part of the road to cross due to the sharp bend but it is also not a road used by many cars as it does not go anywhere.
