Hampshire includes the cities of Southampton, Portsmouth and Winchester, the north Hampshire towns of Basingstoke, Farnborough, Aldershot and Fleet, and a large rural area. The New Forest and South Downs National Parks, several National Landscapes and Green Belt on the Dorset border in the south-west all constrain land. Typical sites include edge-of-town fields, farm buildings, infill plots and urban brownfield land.
What decides whether a site in Basingstoke works
Allocation requirements
Allocation policies often set numbers, access, infrastructure and design expectations.
Existing agreements
Land may already be under option or promotion; we check for exclusivity.
Evidence base
Councils expect technical evidence on deliverability.
In England, the revised National Planning Policy Framework published on 17 August 2026 replaced the old "tilted balance" with new settlement policies: development within a settlement should normally be approved unless the harm substantially outweighs the benefits, while land outside a settlement can gain support in defined circumstances.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 95 miles from Basingstoke, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Which planning rules apply to land in Basingstoke?
As Basingstoke is in England, national policy comes from the National Planning Policy Framework, revised in August 2026. Local policies in the council's development plan also apply.
