 FEBRUARY 2012 - Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council Survey on Community Facilities

Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council need the opinion of local users of community facilities to enable them to plan the borough’s future approach to open space, sport and recreation which they believe is key to supporting healthy communities across the borough as we recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.

The survey also considers how well community buildings are serving community needs operating now and how this can be improved in the future, accounting for factors such as growth in the borough.

The survey is open until Sunday 7 March.

 JANUARY 2021 -  The summary of responses to The Bishops Green Development Consultation meeting, which took place in December, regarding the proposed 400 house development in Bishops Green, are available to read on the News page. Please take the time to have a look. 

 

       DECEMBER 2020 Catesby Estate – 400 home proposal

A public meeting was held on 14^th December to assess the reaction from residents to the proposal by Catesby Estates of a 400 home development in Bishops Green.

The strength of feeling against this proposal has been overwhelming. None of the members of the public who spoke at the Zoom meeting was in favour. The consensus of the questionnaire responses so far is almost totally against such a development.

Reasons for the objections are many and varied and include:

         Environmental impact (flooding, pollution, emissions, and carbon neutral

         Traffic management (road layout and safety, access to the heavily trafficked A339, inadequate bridge).

          Education capacity

                Infrastructure capacity (water, electricity, sewage, gas, refuse and recycling, telephone, and broadband services)

                       Inadequate facilities (shops, pharmacy, pub etc).

                The development size caused much concern as it would completely change the character of the area.

If you have any comments please email the clerk on clerk@ecchinswell-pc.gov.uk.
