Bere Hill, Andover, Hampshire

An outline planning application has now been submitted to Test Valley Borough Council (September 2026).

Once the application has been validated, it will be available to view and comment on via the Council’s online planning portal.

An outline planning application seeks to establish whether the scale and nature of a proposed development would be acceptable to the local planning authority, before a second fully detailed planning application is put forward, which is called a Reserved Matters.

Once the application has been validated, the Council will notify local residents and carry out its own statutory consultation process.

Any further comments should now be submitted directly to Test Valley Borough Council so that they can be considered as part of the planning application.

In summary the proposals include:

• Up to 400 new homes
• 40% affordable housing 
• Onsite play area and extensive area of open green space, managed for leisure and biodiversity gains
