The council purchased the Corner House, an ex-public house in 2020. We are developing a proposal to convert it into 6 one bedroom flats, providing much needed affordable accommodation in a city centre location.

Our proposals aim to achieve the EnerPHit building standard. This will make these homes energy efficient in line with the council’s aims to reduce carbon emissions. 

A planning application (ref 22/00860/FUL) was submitted in April 2022 but is yet to be determined because proposals are affected by nutrient neutrality.

The council is proposing to develop five small affordable homes on land it owns in Sparsholt.

A public consultation took place in June 2018 at Sparsholt Memorial Hall for local residents. The boards displayed at the event and a summary of the feedback can be viewed in the ‘Documents’ section on the right-hand side of this page.

At its September 2018 meeting, the Parish Council supported the idea of development at Woodman Close with associated car parking improvements. 

Following further design work, another consultation took place in November 2019 at Sparsholt Memorial Hall to gauge support for the proposed scheme and additional car parking options.  The boards displayed at this event and a summary of feedback can be viewed in the ‘Documents’ section on the right-hand side of this page. 

Sparsholt Parish Council continues to support this proposed housing development so the Council will progress the scheme.  Car parking proposals will be taken forward as a separate project.

Following the council’s declaration of a climate emergency, designs were revised to achieve high levels of energy efficiency and meet the AECB building standard (Association for Environment Conscious Building).

A planning application (ref 21/02640/FUL) was submitted in October 2021 but is yet to be determined because proposals are affected by nutrient neutrality.
