Hundreds rally against plans for 40 new homes on Hampshire village green
The building sits in Andover town centre, within the conservation area but not listed.
The scheme is being brought forward under Class MA permitted development rights, which means Test Valley Borough Council is only considering technical prior approval matters such as transport, noise, flooding, contamination, design and natural light.
The statement says there would be no transport impacts, the site is in Flood Zone 1 with "no risk of flooding," and "there are no concerns with respect to contamination on the site".
It also says "the proposals retain the external appearance of the front façade… and would therefore have no impact on the character of the surrounding conservation area."

Hampshire village parish council raise fresh concerns over potential housing plan
Hampshire County Council has raised no highway objection, saying there would be "no material impact on the safety or operation of the adjoining public highway network," and that a car-free scheme is acceptable given the building’s proximity to town centre car parks.
However, Andover Town Council said the submission lacked enough detail to properly assess the proposal and argued that a full planning application with more detailed supporting documents should be submitted instead.
The application was submitted to TVBC on Tuesday May 12 and at the time of reporting, has no public comments. The determination deadline has been set for Thursday, July 9.
