Catesby Estates Bishops Green

Strategic land promotion firm Catesby Estates are looking to unlock a large site in Bishops Green for around 400 homes.

The firm is working alongside the owner of Bishops Green Farm in Basingstoke and Deane and they’re looking to get planning permission for the development. The firm need to get the site allocated in the Council’s Local Plan which was updated back in 2016. The next update is planned in 2024 and Catesby Estates – who’re speaking at the Planning & Land Development Conference in February – are aiming to put forward a vision for the site which will enable the village of Bishops Green to become a sustainable village community.

The vision states: “The key aim of the development would be to complement and extend the community centre to avoid displacing the existing core. The new facilities and homes will allow Bishops Green to have village status, which will bring further social and economic benefits over time. The plan will have a mixture of house sizes, types and tenures which will respond to local housing demand, as well as deliver new homes, supporting diversity and social balance for the community.”

As the nearby Greenham Business Park is a major employer, the vision argues that bringing new homes to the area will encourage the business park’s workers to move closer to work, as well as encouraging new companies to the area to match the availability of local employees.
