Thakeham has secured planning consent to deliver up to 109 new homes on a site in Horndean, Hampshire.

The proposed plans for the site, which sits to the east of Catherington Lane, will see a mix of one- to four-bedroom homes delivered, 44 of which are affordable across varying tenures. 

Each home is expected to feature air source heat pumps, a dedicated electric vehicle charger and PV solar panels. The northern part of the site, which totals 17.9 acres, will be landscaped as green public open space for leisure and recreation uses.

Tristan Robinson, Thakeham’s director of external affairs, said: “A comprehensive consultation process was undertaken for this development, with a high level of public interest and engagement in our proposals, so we’re pleased that East Hampshire District Council has approved our plans and granted us planning permission.

“There were nearly 1,600 households on the housing waiting list across East Hampshire between 2022 and 2023, reflecting the clear requirement for additional housing across the district. Land East of Catherington Lane will help to address this need by delivering much needed sustainable new homes.”
