Penally Farm Development
- J (15th Jun 2025 - 08:10:44)
We received a flyer posted to us (and presumably the rest of the village) about a consultation on the land at Penally Farm consisting of 3-4 large fields adjacent to Bramshott Grange along Hewshott Lane. It's taking place at the village hall on Thursday 26th June from 4-8pm.
penallyfarm.co.uk
I'm unable to make the consultation due to work and there is very little information available as of yet so I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas of their plans? Whilst more housing is obviously needed, another big estate would put even more pressure on the services in the village (schools, healthcare, shopping, traffic etc.) so it would be interesting to know what they plan to do to address this issue.

That site should be the number one for development after bohunt manor. We have to have new houses those two sites should be put forward for our allocation.

We're all wondering about the infrastructure!! Hard enough to get appt at docs already. And surely exit would not be allowed onto Hewshott Lane!!!

We must remember that this fantastic government we have will make us have houses weather the infrastructure will take it or not. So we must be prepared to put them where the least damage to our Parrish ie the centre square needs to be protected so any developments should be on the A3 side of the square and if any of the developments could incorporate a relief road to the A3 so much the better we need to look years ahead. Until we get ring roads around the centre we must be very careful where developments take place.

Was this, or any other, site included and/or recommended in the Bramshott and Liphook Neighbourhood Development Plan (NDP)? If not, it is up to EHDC councillors to decide whether or not the location is acceptable. If I am not mistaken that it what our community voted for!
So why are we being asked for our views again, I wonder? Is it because the job of producing a Neighbourhood PLAN was botched? What a waste of time and effort not to mention all the taxpayers' money spent on it.

All NDPs can be overridden by the government - it matters not now what local people think. It is not even a question of what EHDC want either. A government inspector has just approved plans for a 60 bed new hotel near Petersfield which kept being rejected by the SDNPA and went to appeal and has just been approved. It is not a question of allocations either.

At last, common sense is prevailing over the ivory towers of the national park (ref. Joe's post before someone whines that Penally Farm isn't part of the national park). Penally Farm is an excellent choice with it's direct access to the A3. No traffic increase on the school run neither as children can walk to school from this site. Excellent.

Not to sure about that editor we used to walk from all over liphook to Bramshott school yes I know the little darlings need to be chauffeured everywhere. But they park all the way down tower road and the mead and Tunbridge even in Radford lay by so not a great deal further. As D has said an excellent site. And if it was looked at properly there might be a way of putting in a link road to Haslemere road across the river. Food for thought in later years. These developments need to be looked at more thoroughly to get the best out of them.

I think you're right, Editor. Making a child walk a couple of miles to school is probably classed as child abuse these days.

Actually it's a lot closer to the Infants and Junior schools than the proposed new houses at Chiltley Farm and also closer to Bohunt.
Coupled with the fact it's on the same side of the village to the schools and A3 it's location is far superior than Chiltley Farm.
