st 21 Dec 2015 5 Housing Consultation Briefing 2015 V0.8 Threat • Hart’s Housing numbers • Rushmoor and Surrey Heath’s demands • SPA constraints • Analysis paralysis • Inaccurate SHLAA assessments • Testing the Parishes • Limited realistic options • Contrived process

st 21 Dec 2015 6 Housing Consultation Briefing 2015 V0.8 The Brownfield Problem • Hart has excluded several “brownfield” sites (previously developed land) – Eg. ex-police college, Manor • The “Stonegate” report highlights up to 690 possible dwellings – Need to be completed before May 2016 (possible extension to 2019) • Brownfield sites are often more expensive to develop as they need clearing • Hart are also arguing that the 2 (large) sites mentioned above can’t be developed as they’re listed buildings and close to Special Protection Areas (SPA) – SPAs protect natural habitats, with 400m and 5km buffer zone • But there are plenty of large listed sites that have been successfully developed – Eg. Park as a hotel

st 21 Dec 2015 10 Housing Consultation Briefing 2015 V0.8 Running the Numbers • The basic targets for Hart are: – Existing: 35,000 dwellings – Built or planned: 4,600 dwellings – Required additional development: 2,500 • Crondall currently has 734 houses in the entire parish – With 538 inside the current village development boundary • Based on these figures we calculate that Hart needs to find an additional: 2,500 = 6.3% [35,000 + 4,600] • Applying the same ratio to Crondall, we arrive at a basic fair share of: 46 across the entire parish • Offer a round figure of 50 (over whole plan period: 2011-32) – This is only 20 more than we committed to previously

st 21 Dec 2015 11 Housing Consultation Briefing 2015 V0.8 Response Options • Accept Hart’s suggestions and do nothing  • Support only Winchfield new settlement and Strategic Urban Extensions ? – Protects the green spaces and deliver better infrastructure – Appears “nimby” • Support some urban extension (Winchfield or other urban site) and some dispersal  – Appears a more reasonable approach – Enables us to propose more suitable sites

st 21 Dec 2015 13 Housing Consultation Briefing 2015 V0.8 Outline Response • Support Option 3 (Winchfield) or Option 2 (Strategic Urban Extensions) – Inclusive infrastructure designed in – Lower carbon and more sustainable overall • Demand a better approach to “brownfield” • Explain the material errors in the SHLAA assessments • SHLAA 73 & 74 are firmly rejected because:- – Impact on the village, sustainability, school places, sewage system inadequate, surface water flood risks, traffic • Propose a better solution for Crondall based on a fair share of development in more appropriate sites – Mill Lane SHLAA – Rural development policy • Propose strategic gaps to protect character of the village

st 21 Dec 2015 15 Housing Consultation Briefing 2015 V0.8 Guidelines for the Questionnaire (part 2) • Q6 (Site ranking) – This is a high contentious set of questions – Only answer for Crondall, make no marks against the 2 SHLAAs – Add words along the lines of “We support Crondall Parish Councils proposal for a smaller and fair share of development on alternative sites. SHLAA 73 & 74 are rejected.” • Q7 (other comments) – Please feel free to add you own thoughts, perhaps based on the more detailed CPC response

• Key issues for the Local Plan: “Yes” These highlight the issues we • Vision: “Agree” are interested in • Draft strategic priorities: “No” – Lack of priorities, review the SHMA, sewers, develop closer to SPA, recognise the unique challenges of rural areas
