The Council has received two major outline planning applications that have now been uploaded onto its planning website for people to view. The outline planning application for land to the north and east of Boorley Green has been submitted on behalf of MA Botley, Macdonald Botley Park Ltd and Southern & Regional Developments.

The application will consider in detail access to the site and the principle of other aspects of the application which includes the development of 1400 homes with access from Winchester Road and Maddoxford Lane. The application includes an extension to the existing hotel together with a new public house, retail and employment facilities and district energy centre as part of a commercial hub.

The proposals also provide for a new centre for the community including a primary school, open space facilities such as play areas, allotments, Multi-Use Games Area and a multi purpose community facility. An outline planning application has also been submitted by Ashill Developments Ltd and Southern & Regional Developments for land east of Dodwell Lane and north of Pylands Lane.

The outline application will consider in detail access to the site and the principle of other aspects of the application that will include the development of 250 homes and the construction of a new road through the site as a bypass to Sunday’s Hill. The proposals also include the provision of a public open space, children’s play area, and associated landscaping.

Both these applications are the first stage of a two part process. Firstly the outline planning application will be considered. If this is granted a number of detailed applications will then be submitted.
