Policy SPS5.5: Popham Garden Village

Policy box, Figure or Paragraph Number: 
Object

I am totally against the proposal to build 3000 houses on this greenfield site.

It would put at risk the green gap between Basingstoke and Winchester. If Popham is built and the other proposed developments in the southwest of Basingstoke go ahead, the resulting urban sprawl will inevitably lead to pressure for development to expand into Winchester District, either via the new town or other development.
