Braishfield Affordable Housing Proposal 2011

A survey of the need for affordable housing in Braishfield was carried out in 2008.  This resulted in Community Action Hampshire trying to identify a number of possible sites and 14 suggestions were put to Test Valley Borough Council Planning Department for comment.  Most of these were rejected by TVBC and the Parish Council disliked the remainder.  However the Parish Council suggested the site opposite the School and this became known as site 15.

One very important factor in the planning of affordable housing is the existence of a willing landowner and, as it happened, the landowner of the site opposite the School made himself known to the Parish Council and agreed to being contacted by Community Action Hampshire.  An agreement has been reached with the landowner which has permitted consultation with the village to go ahead.  A consultation session was held in the village hall on 14th September 2011 at which, amongst other things, four possible layout options for the site opposite the School were presented for comment.
