Following the resignation of Cllr Julian Hudson, Test Valley Borough Council have confirmed to CPC that they have not received a request for an election to be held. Therefore the Parish Council plan to co-opt a new Councillor.

Could that be you?

Chilbolton Parish Council has agreed the final draft of its objection to James Painter’s outline planning application for 75 homes.

Chilbolton Parish Council has changed the agenda for this evening’s meeting (5 Jan 2026). The Responsible Financial Officer, Cllr David Hall, is recovering from injuries sustained over the holiday period and is unable to present budgetary and financial matters.

As a result, tonight’s meeting at 6pm in the Village Hall will agree CPC’s response to the 75-home planning application, review new planning applications and discuss the process by which a new Parish Councillor will be co-opted. All other business will be deferred to a meeting on Monday 12 Jan 2026 at 6pm in the Village Hall.
