You may recall that the aggregate recycling facility at Three Maids Hill was refused by the Hampshire County Council Regulatory Commitee earlier this year, however the council now understand that it has gone to appeal.
You may not be aware that there was another recycling facility application that was submitted before the Three Maids Hill application for which a decision was not made. This application was at Down Farm, Down Farm Lane just off the Three Maids Hill roundabout, and is available at https://planning.hants.gov.uk/Planning/Display/20/01188/HCS. The Parish Council submitted a written objection on 21st July 2020; however, the application has recently been modified and the council has submitted a further response available here or below. Although the consultation period for this application has closed, the strategic planning department have said they will still accept public responses submitted via their email address, planning@hants.gov.uk.
Should you wish to comment please reference the application number 20/01188/HCS and include your name and address as anonymous representations will not be accepted by Hampshire County Council.

The Parish Council maintains, on behalf of Hampshire County Council, the Littleton pond, and the small wooded open space opposite the pond. We also own the Bronze Age burial site (Tumulus field) in Littleton which is under the guardianship of English Heritage.
The Parish Council review all planning applications in Littleton and Harestock and provide input to the Winchester City Council planning officers. We also work with Winchester City Council, Hampshire County Council and the Hampshire constabulary on local matters including crime and disorder, local transport, highways and many other issues.
