Planning Background

The principles of developing the site have previously been explored through planning and a subsequent planning appeal. In 2018 East Hampshire District Council proposed allocation of the site in its draft Local Plan. 

East Hampshire District Council recognise that new homes are required to ensure a stable housing supply that delivers clear social and economic benefits. The site at Chiltley Lane would contribute to this housing supply.

The Outline Planning Application

The outline planning application includes the following.

• Up to 100 new homes with a range of sizes, types and tenures provided, including the provision of 40% affordable homes to meet local housing need.
• A scheme which has been informed by the local character of Liphook, including the proposed site layout and density which is appropriate to the local area.
• A new parkland area for existing and new residents, including an equipped play area to link into a proposed walking trail and connections to green corridors around the site.
• Creation of new pedestrian and cycle routes to improve sustainable transport.
• Car and cycle parking provision which will be provided in line with local policy requirements, including electric vehicle charging.
• A Suitable Alternative Natural Greenspace (SANG) proposed at Iron Hill which would offer social benefits to existing and future residents as a meeting point and place to walk and exercise.

Full details regarding this application and associated documents can be found by visiting the Council’s website and entering planning application reference number: 22789/007.
