At their meeting on 16 July, Hart Council Cabinet resolved to grant authority to the Chief Executive to:
- To secure an interest free loan from the LEP to cover the cost of procuring Bramshot Farm to set up and administer a Strategic SANG [currently owned by RSPB]
- Subject to securing an interest free loan from the LEP to complete the purchase of Bramshot Farm for the purposes of delivering a SANG.
- To invite the developers of Sun Park to contribute towards the procurement and setting out of Bramshot Farm as SPA mitigation for their potential residential development at Sun Park.
- To facilitate the procurement of land to the north of Pyestock (Hartland Park) at no cost to the Council to provide SANG mitigation for the potential Pyestock/Hartland Park development opportunity
This means that there will now be more than enough SANG land to support the development of Pyestock and Sun Park, with maybe some left over to support development within Rushmoor Borough boundaries. This is an important step in demonstrating that the forthcoming Local Plan is deliverable.
The council paper can be found here, and a map of the proposed SANG sites is shown here and in the image above.
If this MOD SANG is going to border Bramshot Lane to Kennels Lane, where would the relief road go along the East side of Pyestock to meet the BMW roundabout? Summit Avenue is already at a standstill during rush hour?

That’s what the area currently looks like that is in the map linked above.
A massive swathe of green that looks to be larger than the brownfield area covered by Pyestock. No thanks…
