Chilbolton Parish Council has issued a press release informing residents of how they can comment on TVBC’s consultation about building 65 homes in the village.

A sunny Summer afternoon in Chilbolton, with afternoon tea, overlooking the Test Valley: perfect circumstances for a first interview with the Parish Council’s new Chair, Cllr Julian Hudson.

The new sub-committee of Chilbolton Parish Council tasked with bringing forward plans to build 10 “downsize” homes held its inaugural meeting last night. Community Development Committee elected its officers, reviewed its terms of reference and appointed working parties.

At an Extraordinary Council meeting on Wednesday, Test Valley Borough councillors approved a draft consultation plan that lists 65 new homes to be built in Chilbolton. The plan says “A community led housing allocation of approximately 65 dwellings is proposed at land to the north east of Drove Road, Chilbolton.”
