Pale Lane Appeal Dismissed
Crookham Village
Following the public inquiry in January 2019 and the Inspector's report, the Secretary of State has agreed with the Inspector and has decided to dismiss the appeal.
The Secretary of State included in his consideration the Hartley Wintney Neighbourhood Plan, which was emerging during the appeal and which came into force in October 2019.
He also agrees that Hart can demonstrate 9 years of housing land supply and there is no need to deliver an additional 700 homes in this location.
The harm to the setting and the significance of the listed farmhouse at Pale Lane also weighs against the scheme and there is a protective policy which provides a clear reason for refusing the development.
