A FAMILY which has submitted an outline planning application for nearly 50 homes near Winchester has applied to build two more houses.

Simon Welch, whose family own land off Harestock Road, has filed outline plans for two self-build homes with an access each.

It comes after the family submitted an outline application for 45 homes, a community use barn and five acres of open space, for a different area of the same land in December.

Adam Welch said 186 people have supported the plans and 100 have objected. He said he expects it will be put before the city council’s planning committee in the coming months.

The additional two houses would be for the Welch family to build their own homes, he said.
