Why you should make a comment, how to do it, where to send it, and what is the deadline.

Why make a comment?

What’s being proposed would be the largest single development of houses in Chilbolton ever. It would increase the number of houses by over 16%, and would bring a further 245 people as residents of the Village.

Battle lines were drawn yesterday evening as Chilbolton Parish Council prepared a plan for responding to James Painter’s planning application for a 75-home development.

This evening the Parish Council starts to make their plan for responding to James Painter’s outline application for a 75-home development.

They will also open the floor for members of the public to ask questions and express their views.

Nicky Bond, who runs the Village Shop, says that they have restricted access today. They will set up at the front of the Shop for everyday essentials, newspapers and prescriptions and whatever else they can access.

They will be available from 08:30 onwards, into the afternoon.

In a surprise move this evening, Parish Councillors have issued a new agenda for their Extraordinary Meeting on Monday. They will discuss the approach for responding to the new 75-home planning application.

Sensationally, Cllr Tony Ewer will be required to recuse himself from that discussion.

The public will no longer be excluded, and the meeting includes an item for public questions and comments.
