Causeway Farm at Petersfield in Southern Hampshire is a greenfield site of approximately 27 hectares (68 acres), situated within the South Downs National Park.

2010 sees another application for housing at Causeway Farm. We will be updating the Objections page on this site as the application progresses. It is currently awaiting acceptance by EHDC before the consultation period begins.

In 2005 The Inspector's Report following the Local Plan Inquiry substantially follows our recommendations in excluding any major housing development from Petersfield - primarily because of its position within the then AONB, now the South Downs National Park. Causeway Farm is shown as the last lowest reserve site in Petersfield. Indeed the Inspector states, in putting all of these Petersfield sites towards the end of the reserve list that he hopes "that they will never be developed".

In 2002, although the site was not allocated for housing, a syndicate of developers made an unsuccessful application to build 275 houses, with further plans for this to rise to over 500. This housing is not required for Petersfield workers, but would be primarily occupied by commuters.
