Plans for 50 new homes in Hampshire village
RESIDENTS gathered to hear plans to create up to 50 homes in their village.
Drew Smith Ltd has submitted an outline planning application to the Winchester City Council for the development on land off Hookpit Farm Lane, known as Top Field, in Kings Worthy.
It comes as part of city council’s Local Plan Part Two which requires 250 homes to be built in Kings Worthy by 2031.
Neil Holmes, of Drew Smith, gave a presentation to the crowd, who raised concerns with intrusion on the sky line, open space, parking, traffic, flooding and school places. Mr Holmes outlined two options, for either 25 or 50 homes, saying it would be up to the council to decide.
The public consultation for Local Plan Part Two opens on October 24.
