Specialist Group has decided not to follow through with its plans to develop a Devonshire property.

The home of murder victim Maureen Parker, which is situated on the corner of Corkscrew Hill, was initially earmarked for use as a medical office for the Medical Specialist Group Ltd.

The MSG principals are physicians Dr. Ewart Brown, Dr. Wilbert Warner and Dr.

Henry Subair.

Initially, the Development Applications Board granted the Medical Specialist Group Ltd. permission to convert the Dun-Salin residence on Middle Road in Devonshire into doctors' offices.

The doctors planned to use the building for medical specialists offices.

However, The Royal Gazette understands that the doctors are not now going to follow through.

When contacted Dr. Brown said: "There has been a change of plans, that is all.'' Nursery school operators David and Julie Goodwin want to renovate the same vacant building into a nursery for 50 children with a staff of six. The children will range in range from 18 months to five years old.

The couple own three nursery schools -- Woodrose School, Stepping Stones Nursery School, and Kids' Venture Nursery School. It's unclear from the application whether the couple want to move one or all three of their nurseries onto the current site.

Mr. Goodwin, who works at the Bermuda Monetary Authority, is off the Island until today.

The couple had made a similar application for a nursery site at the bottom of Store Hill, Smith's, but were turned down by the Development Applications Board.

In the new application the Planning Department's technical officers express concern about emergency access to the Middle Road building during rush hours.
