Outline application for 26 units in Highclere, Hampshire

With the site located within the designated North Wessex Downs Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) the scheme should respond to genuine local need, and built form respect and complement the beauty of the landscape and character.

JPP have submitted an outline application for 26 dwellings, including 10 affordable homes. The development concept is designed around a strong landscape structure, taking as its starting point the existing land form, vegetation and surrounding built features, which act as form-givers for the development, with the purpose of delivering a development which responds to its location. Overall, a sustainable, safe, attractive place will be created, with buildings and landscape defining streets and public spaces.

Despite a recommendation for approval from Basingstoke & Deane, unfortunately the scheme was refused by the planning committee. JPP submitted an appeal to the Secretary of State however unfortunately the appeal was dismissed.
