About our proposals
The Government requires East Hampshire District Council to deliver a minimum number of new homes per year across the district to meet local needs. In the district, the average income is £32,667, while the average house price is 14 times higher at £453,003. From 2021 to 2022, just 159 affordable homes were built across East Hampshire as a whole. Meanwhile in 2023, 1,590 households were waiting on the local housing register for an affordable home.
Our proposals are for around 125 new homes, including 40% affordable homes for people on the local housing register. Our plans include a mixture of styles and size homes to help people move onto, and up the housing ladder, and for older people to downsize.
We publically consulted on our proposals in July 2023, and submitted for review by East Hampshire District Council (application 60033) in November 2023.

Sustainable homes, strong communities
We deliver sustainable, infrastructure-led communities and is an industry leader on biodiversity and the environment.
Sustainability
We believe that developments should provide accessible natural areas close to people’s homes, designed to complement the wider local landscape and linking up large, nature-rich open spaces with a network of green and blue corridors.
Our biodiversity principles guide us to deliver this primarily onsite where there is the biggest local community benefit, with the flexibility to deliver verifiable and tangible off site gains where on-site isn’t achievable.
Community
Creating communities is what we do. We build integrated communities that challenge issues of loneliness and promote healthy living in enhanced natural environments.
Working with our partners, we create award winning sustainable, infrastructure led developments. We work with community groups, charity partners and sponsor events in the areas we work. With their help, we identify what infrastructure they need when planning new homes.
