Ambitions to develop another greenfield site on the western edge of Alton have been signed, sealed and delivered with plans for a new estate in the pipeline.
Croudace Homes is on the verge of submitting a detailed planning application for up to 100 new homes south of Basingstoke Road and Pertuis Avenue.
Dozens of nearby residents got the tip-off last week as the Home Counties firm carried out a leaflet drop in the area.
While the firm has not confirmed any dates to the Herald, and there are no details on their website, the firm says the site has the potential to provide “much-needed housing in a sustainable location”
A mix of housing from one to five-bedroom homes is in the pipeline while affordable dwellings will make up 40 per cent of the would-be development.
An “enhancement of the settlement gap” between Alton and Beech has also been touted along with new access from the A339 and routes for pedestrians and cyclists.
