Site Description The site lies to west of Alton, directly to the south of the A339 (Basingstoke Road) and Pertuis Avenue/Whitedown Lane. Despite adjoining the built-up area of Alton, the site is located within the parish of Beech. To the south of the site is an extensive area of woodland, which contains a public right of way in close proximity to the southern boundary of the site. The site is gently sloping, with the land rising towards the woodland to the south. The site is greenfield pasture, with a small farm building close to the western boundary. There is an access track and field entrance (gated) associated with the farm building. Land to the west of the site is undeveloped. Housing to the north (off Whitedown Lane) is screened by mature vegetation. Housing types in the wider area are typically detached houses on relatively large plots.
