URGENT UPDATE: Bargate Housing Planning Application
We have officially received formal notification that the planning application for the proposed Bargate Housing development has been lodged with Test Valley Borough Council who will make the final decision.
The consultation period is now OPEN and will run until 23rd January 2026. (Please note: This deadline has been extended to account for the Christmas break).
Parish Council Action:
A Parish Council meeting has been scheduled for Monday, 29th December at 12.15 to:
- Formally discuss the details of application 25/03028/OUTS
- Appoint the external planning experts and specialists (funded by your generous donations) to help draft our objection
- Review our ongoing plans
How and When to Make Your Comments
- The portal is now open and you are able to submit your comments to TVBC up until 23rd January 2026
- For an objection to be effective, it must be based on “material planning considerations.” Our experts will identify the most robust technical areas (such as drainage, traffic impact, or local infrastructure) for residents to focus on in their individual letters.
- The Power of Numbers: A high volume of individual, well-reasoned objections is far more powerful
View the Plans
- You can view the full application by visiting the TVBC Planning Portal and searching for reference: 25/03028/OUTS: https://view-applications.testvalley.gov.uk/…/applicati…
Summary of Key Dates:
- 29th December: Parish Council Meeting (Appointment of experts)
- Early January: Parish Council to release further guidance for resident objections
- 23rd January: Final deadline for all comments to be submitted to TVBC
Thank you for your continued support and sending our very best wishes to all residents for the festive season and New Year.
