“This Hampshire country pub might just have the best burgers in the county”.

The Chilbolton Parish Council meeting last night was a tense affair marked by disagreements between councillors, a vote, and sharp exchanges between the Chair and villagers who had attended the meeting. At the heart of the disagreements was the governance of its plans to build 25 new homes in the village.

Test Valley Borough Council planning officer Emma Jones has recommended that the Northern Area Planning Committee approve the development of five houses at Test Valley Farm in Chilbolton. The controversial planning application will be discussed at the TVBC planning committee meeting on 13 Mar 2025.

On noticeboards around the village and in everyone’s postbox, it appeared without warning - a flyer calling all villagers to attend the Parish Council’s “informal meeting” on 22 Feb 2025.

At last, the Parish Council and the Strategic Working Group have released the minutes of their meetings.
