There will be 21 homes:
SNG will be using the land to build much needed quality homes for rent.
We have submitted a planning application with a view to beginning work on site in Spring 2025. The new homes would be ready for occupation in Spring/Summer 2026/ These timescales are all subject to planning approval being obtained.
New homes can put pressure on local parking, which is why we’re providing parking spaces for residents and visitors of the proposed development in consultation with Hampshire County Council as local highways authority.
There will be 29 parking spaces in total sensitively laid out in easily accessible parking bays across the site. This will help to ensure that there’s adequate parking for the new homes and minimise the impact on neighbouring residents.
We understand that having construction activity nearby can be inconvenient, but we’ll work to minimise any disruption to the surrounding area. We are committed to working closely with the local community to understand any concerns you may have.
Sovereign has considerable experience of working within communities and is part of the Considerate Contractors Scheme – a national initiative which means that the site will be monitored against a code of considerate practice. Our appointed contractor will put in place detailed plans to manage safety in and around the site. These plans will consider the impact of construction traffic, working hours on site, parking for construction workers and site security.
It is important to us that the contractors we employ maintain a safe, secure and tidy environment at all times. Any issues or concerns can be raised directly with the site management team or via Sovereign.
The properties for rent will provide housing for people at a much more affordable rent than the local housing market rent. Local people in need of affordable housing can apply to join Basingstoke and Deane Homebid – the Common Housing Register in Basingstoke.
The Council will then assess their housing need and place the applicant in an appropriate ‘band’. Available properties are advertised each week on Basingstoke Homebid and applicants on the register can bid on them through the Choice Based Lettings scheme. The applicant in the highest band with the longest date will be nominated for the property they’ve bid on.
SNG is a leading housing association, setting the very highest standards for affordable homes and places people want to live in line with their own Homes and Place Standard.
To achieve this, SNG have ensured that all gardens for the proposed houses meet or exceed Basingstoke and Deane’s standards for private garden space in terms of both overall garden size and garden depth. All flats include private balconies in line with design guidance. A central amenity space is also created in the proposed development, adding additional green space that can be shared and enjoyed by the community.
