UP TO 140 new homes could be built in Bramley as councillors are set to approve plans for the development.

Redrow Developments submitted a reserved matters planning application to build more than 100 homes, a community building and public open space on land at Stocks Farm.

The developers purchased the land from Wates Developments in January. The company had previously received consent from Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council in March 2022 for the site in outline.

Now, councillors will consider the reserved matters application, which includes further details about the design of the houses, buildings and more, at a Development Control Committee meeting on Wednesday, December 4.

The planning application includes 14 hectares of public green space including a play area, kickabout space, allotments, a bowling green, and a new community hub building which could be used for a shop, café and/or co-working space.

Residents have objected to the plans due to concerns that there is not enough infrastructure in place to support 140 homes.

Andrew Reynolds noted: "I object in principle to the whole development.

"The village cannot take this additional significant development, the traffic, the doctors, the school, etc."

Resident Mary Robertson said that the application doesn't include plans to 'reasonably support oversubscribed school and GP facilities as well as community play areas'.

A third, Peter Clarke, called plans to deal with drainage and sewage from the development 'alarmingly inadequate', adding: "I am acutely aware of the inadequacy of sewage disposal plans for the Stocks Farm development."

Bramley Parish Council has objected to the application due to a number of reasons including concerns from members that the skate park "is likely to become a magnet for anti-social behaviour" and that "consideration should be given to protection of the open green spaces".

Redrow Developments said that the homes will be built 'in response to local demand'.

The company added: "The proposals aim to retain and enhance existing assets whilst also creating new ones through the use of high quality multifunctional green spaces, incorporating sustainable drainage systems, delivering a net gain in biodiversity."

The plans are recommended for approval by planning officers, subject to conditions.

In the report provided to committee members, planning officer Luke Benjamin notes that the 'benefits of the proposal including the delivery of market and affordable housing' would 'outweigh the harm to the landscape'.
