AN UPDATE FROM THE ABBOTTS ANN COMMUNITY LAND TRUST (AACLT)
We are delighted to report that following a competitive tender process, AACLT and the Landowner have this week agreed the appointment of a new Development Partner for the proposed Community Housing Development on the land next to Abbotts Ann Primary School on Duck Street.
Terms have been agreed between the parties for the sale and acquisition of the site and contract documents are currently being prepared. Whilst we are unable to provide full details at this stage, we can confirm that the successful developer is a Hampshire based building company of excellent repute which has already produced a number of high quality developments in the surrounding area. The AACLT Board is confident that this new developer is going to deliver the right mix of affordable and market housing to meet Abbotts Ann’s requirements.
We look forward to sharing further details with the village in the coming weeks and would like to assure you that there will be a further full public consultation prior to submission of an application for Planning consent to ensure everyone is fully updated on the planned development.

If you are interested in the affordable housing – which will be specifically for people living or working in Abbotts Ann or with a close family connection to the village – you will need to join the housing register. To find out all about this go to ‘How do I apply for affordable housing in Test Valley?’ where you will find all the information, including a link to the Hampshire Home Choice website where you can apply to join the housing register.
If you have any further questions or would like to contact us for any reason, please email the AACLT at enquiries@aaclt.abbottsann.com
