College Copse Fields, East of Ecchinswell Road, Bishops Green, Hampshire

Following the closure of the public consultation we are now analysing the feedback received, and we will continue to update the website www.catesby-collegecopsefields.co.uk as the proposals progress.

The formal public consultation period for our proposals for College Copse Fields closed on Sunday 19th September 2021.  However, should you wish to submit further feedback you can do this via the Have Your Say Form on this website or via email at info@catesbyestates.co.uk.

We will be submitting an outline planning application with all matters reserved (excluding access).  Outline planning applications seek to establish whether the scale and nature of a proposed development would be acceptable to the Local Planning Authority, before a fully detailed proposal is put forward.

Where outline permission has been granted, and within three years of the outline approval, an application for the outstanding reserved matters can be submitted, i.e. the information excluded from the initial outline planning application. This will typically include information about the layout, scale and appearance of the development.

Both types of applications are required to undergo public consultation before submission.  Statutory consultees (eg. Environment Agency, Highways England, Natural England and Parish Councils) and local residents will also have the opportunity to formally comment on the applications once they are submitted and registered with the Local Authority.
