However , director of Brightbeech Property Limited and applicant , Tim Lincoln , admitted `` it 's sad '' the Abbey Hotel will not provide accommodation for guests , but insisted it is not `` viable '' as a hospitality business anymore .

`` I welcome the newly revised report from the officers and I accept , reluctantly , that it has been demonstrated that hotel accommodation on that site is not viable and hopefully we can relieve the pressure for hotel accommodation on other sites in the future . ''

`` So we have a choice , we can dwell on what has happened in the past or we can welcome new occupiers to empty properties . ''

This comes after the proposal was deferred on August 25 after councillors contested the application over a lack of parking on the site, a loss of tourist accommodation in the town and the conservation area could be negatively impacted.
At this week's meeting, two councillors stressed they would be voting in favour of the plans, despite expressing previous concerns over the former hotel.
However, director of Brightbeech Property Limited and applicant, Tim Lincoln, admitted "it's sad" the Abbey Hotel will not provide accommodation for guests, but insisted it is not "viable" as a hospitality business anymore.
Cllr John Parker, who represents Romsey Tadburn on TVBC, said: "At the last meeting I expressed concerns about the loss of hotel accommodation, the parking and the fact that there was uncertainty about what was happening to the rest of the site, and what impact that would have both on the conservation area and the setting of King John's House.
"I welcome the newly revised report from the officers and I accept, reluctantly, that it has been demonstrated that hotel accommodation on that site is not viable and hopefully we can relieve the pressure for hotel accommodation on other sites in the future."
He added he was "disappointed" about the lack of parking, but added people who want to live in the properties should realise "there is no parking" in the area and they will not be able to "get parking permits".
Cllr Alan Dowden, who represents the Valley Park ward, added he still had "real concerns about the parking", but noted there were "no highway objections" over this issue.
Cllr Dowden concluded he would have to "reluctantly go along with the recommendation for permission".
Mr Lincoln, said: "It's sad the [Abbey Hotel] is being lost, but it isn't viable and that has been demonstrated by what The White Horse Hotel tried to do with the building for some six years. "So we have a choice, we can dwell on what has happened in the past or we can welcome new occupiers to empty properties."
He added he could "not really comment" on the parking issue but highlighted Hampshire County Council advised them parking would not be "needed for this development".

Partners coming into the maternity departments will be asked to wait outside the department or in their car, before being invited in as the appointment will commence.
Fay Corder, associate director of midwifery at Hampshire Hospitals, said: “Keeping those in our care, our staff and visitors safe remains our top priority. We are continually reviewing our visiting guidelines in line with national guidance and are closely monitoring the situation locally.
“We know how important it is to have someone by your side during these moments, and have been listening to the feedback of the women we look after and their families. We are looking forward to safely welcoming partners to additional scans and appointments.
“Women will be contacted the day before their appointment to be asked a couple of questions about themselves and their partner to check for symptoms of COVID-19.
“Due to the need for social distancing, partners are asked to wait in the car and to be invited in as the appointment will commence. Partners are advised to park outside the maternity buildings for this reason and provision has been made for these parking areas to be maternity only.
“In maternity, we will continue to support birthing partners to visit the wards between 8am-8pm, and partners are still welcome to stay for the duration of labour.
“We may need to quickly revise the visiting guidelines in place at any time, please continue to look out for updates. Thank you for your support and patience during this time.”
Since the summer, essential visits to patients across the rest of the hospitals have been permitted, with one visitor per patient being able to come into hospital and visits must be at a time agreed with the ward nurse in charge in advance.
