Kempshott & Developments – Kempshott Community Network

Developments Round Kempshott

There is a lot going on in Basingstoke which will, or may perhaps, affect Kempshott Residents and it is not easy to keep tract of these when sudden announcements and media attention is followed by long periods of silence…( silence does not mean nothing is happening, it’s just not in the public arena).

We support SWAG ( South West Action Group) as our representatives in this arena – they do an excellent job in representing residents interests and holding the two local authorities to account in their planning and monitoring roles, but the power in their elbow is down to the level of support WE give them.

SWAG’s website has all the latest news on the Hospital Site, Warehouse Site, Manydown and next Local Plan as well as the existing developments ( Golf Course development, Hounsome Fields, Anaerobic Digester, completion of Island Site and motorway service area) here.

See the SWAG website for details of future developments and how they may affect us,

these include:

A30 north side: Hounsome Fields

A30 south side: Golf Course Site

M3 Junction7 : Development of Warehouse complex (details on C A G E website)

Next Strategic plan proposals for SW Basingstoke

GREEN ENVIRONMENT Quality green spaces for people, wildlife and access to the countryside.
WELLBEING A neighbourly, engaged and active community with the facilities it needs & desires.
