Bewley Homes has released the prices of the new houses it is building at Hartley Row Park, Hartley Wintney, Hampshire, also known as Rifle Range Farm.
The lowest price for a 3-bed semi-detached home is set at £465,000. The lowest anticipated price of the 2-bed homes due to be released later in 2016 is £370,000.
This compares to the median incomes in Hart set out in Figure 4.8 of the SHMA, which is £40,200.
This means that the cheapest 3-bed house is 11.5 times median income, and the cheapest 2-bed home will be 9.2 times median incomes. The cheapest new properties will be totally out of reach of middle-income families in the district.
We have argued for some time that these types of new developments such as Hartley Row Park, Edenbrook (in Fleet), the proposed new town at Winchfield and the newly proposed urban extension at Pale Lane deliver the wrong type of housing to meet the needs of local people.
We need more smaller, more affordable properties and more specialist accommodation for the elderly. Development of brownfield sites for the remainder of our Local Plan period are much more likely to deliver more cheaper properties that will give our young people more chance of getting on the housing ladder.
According to the current SHMA, 2,500 more homes need to be permitted to get us on track for 7,500 extra houses up to 2031.
However, the SHMA is currently being revised to take account of more up to date, lower population and household forecasts. They should also deal with the ridiculous jobs forecasts. My hope and expectation is that the SHMA numbers will be reduced by 1,000-1,500 houses. If I am right, then Pyestock would be able to meet the entire remaining requirement, with room to spare and plenty more brownfield sites for many more years.

My question is, Why?
They are currently building 4000 new home in Aldershot Lynda on the site opposite Potter’s International Hotel?
The part I drove through was en route to Ash Tracey .
Ok whereabouts?
I was following my satnav – but I think I remember Ordnance and Government Roads…. derelict building, boarded up, Derelict grounds.

I drove through a part of Aldershot yesterday that seemed to be derelict Army buildings – enough room for a new town, easily?
Well, there’s a surprise!
