The government has now opened the consultation period on the proposals for Local Government Reorganisation across Hampshire.

In case you were not aware, the reorganisation will mean that from April 2028, Hampshire County Council and all of the District Councils in Hampshire will cease to exist and will be replaced by new Unitary Authorities who will deliver all services in their area.

The consultation period is open now and closes on 11 January 2026. There are four proposals and you can have your say on them by completing the online survey on the Ministry of Housing Communities and Local Government website.

Please take this opportunity to give your feedback on the proposals.

The Local Plan 2042 Revised Regulation 18 draft Local Plan proposes, under policy NA8, to allocate land south of the A342 for housing. The development would be served by a new access road from the A342 over the railway line.

Master Land & Planning, who are representatives of the developers of the entire site, have indicated they will attend the next Parish Council meeting on 26th January to introduce themselves, their client and provide details of the project including indicative timelines. 

We will confirm their attendance when publishing the agenda for the meeting on the village noticeboards and our website, which we will do by 20th January.
