Planning

This is a busy week for Parish meetings. There are three opportunities to find out more about the 25 homes that the Parish Council propose to build.

At a well-attended Planning Committee meeting last night, Councillors and residents together agreed to confirm 25 homes in TVBC’s draft Local Plan. However they decided not to automatically accept a further 40 homes, because there was as yet no proven housing need.

Over the last month, chilbolton.news has published several articles on Test Valley’s consultation over 65 new homes proposed for Chilbolton. Here we ask why this consultation is taking place and what it means for the Village.

At a well-attended and well-run meeting, Chilbolton Parish Council’s Planning Committee began the process of preparing their response to Test Valley Borough Council’s draft plan consultation. The plan allocates 65 homes to be built in Chilbolton.

An interesting article in the Hampshire Chronicle by Charles Elliman asks whether Test Valley Borough Council councillors on the planning committee are “voting tactically” when considering planning applications.
