The line of trees just to the left of the central tree provide a clue as to the former land use. They marked the boundary between two fairways. This land was once the former Basingstoke District Hospital's golf club that was part of the Park Prewett hospital. In January 2014 the borough council's development control committee approved plans for the building of 585 new homes and a 420-place primary school on the site.
