REVISED plans have been submitted which would see 47 houses built on a green space in Alderbury.

Formula Land (Alderbury) Ltd initially submitted outline plans to develop fields sandwiched between Southampton Road at the north of the village and the A36 in November of last year.

Feedback gathered from two public consultations has fed into the new plans, which have seen a slight increase in the number of bungalows and flats proposed.

Four two-bed houses have been replaced with four two-bed bungalows on the western edge of the site adjacent to Junction Lane, and two two-bed houses have been replaced with two one-bed flats.

There has also been a reduction in the scale of the houses, with one two-storey house replaced with one single-storey bungalow which would join the existing properties on Junction Lane.

Additional boundary planting has been proposed to protect the amenity of the neighbouring houses to Junction Road.

Alderbury Parish Council raised objections to the previously submitted plans back in December.

They said the site lies outside the settlement boundary for the village as per the Local Plan and that they feel that Alderbury has fulfilled its contribution to help meet housing targets in the county thanks to previous developments.

Issues were also raised about the potential flood risk, with the council adding that “local knowledge says there are many underground springs in this area.”

Concerns over the increase of traffic were also brought to the developer’s attention, as well as the impact on Southampton Road, which would serve as access to the development.

The parish council said: “The village has expanded a great deal in the past few years with no improvement to the A36 capacity, particularly into Salisbury.

“Another 47 properties and, perhaps, double that number of cars, will have a significant impact.

“The expansion of the village in recent years is having a noticeable impact on the amount of traffic on Southampton Road and the A36.”
