The planning statement from Alfred Homes explains that the application seeks permission to build six homes, along with the necessary access, garages, parking, and landscaping, on a 0.43-hectare field next to the village settlement boundary.
The document notes this follows the grant of Permission in Principle earlier this year, stating that decision "confirms that in principle a minimum of 4 and maximum of 6 dwellings can be constructed on the site."

According to the planning statement, Barton Stacey is described in the adopted Village Design Statement as "a vibrant, working rural community with ancient roots" and as a place where "the built environment does not have a single cohesive aesthetic, due to a history of development that has led to a mixture of architectural forms and styles."
Alfred Homes says this allows the firm, as "a bespoke house builder", to avoid "standard house types" so that "each development… respond[s] fully to the local context."
The scheme would deliver a mix of three- and four-bedroom houses, all of "a traditional design utilising brick and clay tiles", with each property exceeding "the Technical Housing Standards – Nationally Described Space Standards" and benefitting from "its own private garden."
The statement adds that "all Alfred Homes properties come with charging facilities for electric vehicles."

On transport, the applicant says a supporting assessment "demonstrates that the site is located adjacent to the existing built-up area of Barton Stacey and provides opportunities for residents to access local facilities on foot and by bicycle", with bus services connecting to Andover and Winchester.
Flood risk is addressed through a site-specific study, with the statement explaining that a "sequential approach has been taken to the design of the site ensuring flood zone 2 affects only the rear garden of Plot 2" and that the scheme "has been made safe by design and negates the need for a sequential test."
The application submitted to Test Valley Borough Council on Friday, July 17, has not received a public comment at the time of reporting.
The determination deadline has been set for Friday, September 11.
