Foreman Homes have submitted an application to build homes on the same site they were previously turned down earlier this year.

The new plan is for 57 houses on part of the field closest to Bellfield but leaving an area of open land between the proposed estate and Great Posbrook House.

The original plan was for 150 houses and a Scout Hut but in April the planning inspector turned down Forman Homes appeal against Fareham’s decision to reject the application.

At the time the appeals inspector had concluded that the green (Meon) gap that is protected under FBC planning guidelines is important enough to prevent Foreman Homes going ahead with their development.

The inspector gave the overall reasons for rejecting the scheme, saying, ‘I conclude that the proposed development would result in material harm to the character and appearance of the area.This would result in harm to a valued landscape’.

A number of objections have already been lodged against the development including one from The Titchfield Village Trust who have objected to this application in the ‘strongest of terms’ saying that this is ‘a somewhat cynical attempt by a developer to undermine both the Inspectors report regarding the already refused application.’

The Reference No. Is P/19/1193/O

The Decision Date is the 4th February 2020
