Welcome to the Medstead and Four Marks Neighbourhood Plan webpage hosted on the websites of Medstead and Four Marks Parish Councils.

New Housing

The Government is demanding that East Hampshire builds 1,142 new houses each year, including 50 for the SDNP

The Medstead and Four Marks Neighbourhood Plan is being revised, to try to ensure that the dwellings that the villages really need to be built are

• of the right type
• in the right place
• suggest the right time.

Medstead and Four Marks Neighbourhood Plan
 
Call for sites

Medstead and Four Marks Neighbourhood Plan has a designated area that covers the Parishes of Medstead and Four Marks, outside the South Downs National Park

The M&FMNP Steering Group is currently reviewing the current Plan, ‘made’ in 2016 and will be making allocations to cover the housing needs of the area and also seek employment sites. It is aware of the sites already submitted to EHDC under its Land Availability Assessment initiative, and is currently assessing the pertinent sites. As some landowners may have not yet submitted their proposals to EHDC, the Medstead and Four Marks Neighbourhood Plan is making a ‘Call for Site’ during June 2025, closing at 17.00 on 30th June 2025.

It is seeking suitable sites to assist with the housing or employment within the area. Sites have to be either:

• 0.25 ha or more
• suitably able to accommodate five or more homes,

To ensure the sustainability of the area, the Steering Group wishes to be aware of any land for employment opportunities that may be suitable for development.

Past site submissions made to East Hampshire do not need to be resubmitted.

All sites put forward to this ‘Call for Sites’ will be reviewed in line with the national PPG Housing and economic land availability assessment; and all applicants should be aware that the information will be publicly available as part of the Neighbourhood Plan making process.

Any completed Site Submission Form should be summitted to the Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group electronically to npsg@fourmarks-pc.org.uk or if in hard copy to M&FMNP Steering Group, c/o Parish Office, Four Marks Sports Pavilion, Uplands Lane, Four Marks, Hampshire, GU34 5AF
