Local MP Caroline Nokes gave a stark warning to a packed Village Hall. Talking about the outline planning application for 75 homes, she said “This is a challenge. I cannot wave a magic wand and make this go away.”

James Painter, the landowner behind the planned 75-home development has declined Chilbolton Parish Council’s invitation to a Village meeting, and the opportunity to speak to the community.

His letter also includes a rebuttal of several points currently being raised in objections to his development.

Chilbolton Parish Council has announced the resignation of Cllr Julian Hudson as Chair of CPC and as a Councillor.

In a long meeting last night, the Parish Council covered a lot of ground. The most eye-catching item was a proposal to counter the limited traffic survey in James Painter’s planning application, with something more comprehensive.

“It started at that meeting last December: their ‘vision’ was more of a nightmare.”

It’s a story we’ve heard before, but in this case it led Nicola Revolta to become a member of the action group “Cherish Chilbolton”.
