Analysis

At the last Parish Council meeting there was a sense of puzzlement, amongst some Councillors, over the Observatory’s objection to the 75-home planning application.

Here we explain the background to that objection.

As Chilbolton Parish Council prepares to agree its response to James Painter’s proposal to build 75 homes, we look at what residents have been commenting on in their responses.

Why you should make a comment, how to do it, where to send it, and what is the deadline.

Why make a comment?

What’s being proposed would be the largest single development of houses in Chilbolton ever. It would increase the number of houses by over 16%, and would bring a further 245 people as residents of the Village.

Over the last month, chilbolton.news has published several articles on Test Valley’s consultation over 65 new homes proposed for Chilbolton. Here we ask why this consultation is taking place and what it means for the Village.

There are two Parish Council Committee meetings next week: the Planning Committee and the Community Development Committee. Both have potentially important consequences for the future of Chilbolton. Here’s what to expect and why you may want to go along.
