In a letter to Cllr Julian Hudson, Chair of Chilbolton Parish Council, James Painter, who owns the land next to the Village Hall and Drove Road, has revealed that he intends to submit “an outline planning application for part of this land with details of the first 25 homes”.

It was billed as a presentation of the Parish Council’s response to TVBC’s proposal that 65 homes be built in Chilbolton over the next seven years. But the meeting pitted Parish Councillors against a tough audience of around 80 residents who were eager to talk about CPC’s own 25-home development.

Last night, as the Parish Council’s Planning Committee discussed their presentation on TVBC’s Local Plan, flyers were being posted around the village urging villagers to attend it.

The Community Development Committee yesterday reported that the new development site analysis is well underway.

Chilbolton Parish Council has scheduled a fourth meeting this week, with a proposal that the public should be excluded because “sensitive information regarding planning matters” will be discussed.
