Velmore Redevelopment

We can now report that the planning application has been submitted to Eastleigh Borough Council.  Following the most recent consultation event which was held on 10 April and taking into account comments made on this website, we have changed the plans for Westfield Crescent.  The application for this part of the estate now consists solely of 13 two-bedroom bungalows and an area of public open space that is the same size as the current open space on the site.

To see the versions of the plans that have been submitted for planning permission please click on the links below (under Plans By Road).  Other documents that were submitted with the planning application are also available (see list of hyperlinks below), including documents relating to the expenditure of the developers contributions and what the monies might be spent on.  We have resumed discussions with Eastleigh Borough Council and Hampshire County Council on the developers contributions.  As you will see from the documents, we still have some consultation to do on this.

Please note that the most effective way to make your comments now that the application has been made is via Eastleigh Borough Council, either in person, in writing or via their website on www.eastleigh.gov.uk.  If you make your comments in one of these ways they will be logged by the Council.  The Council’s website says that all comments are given careful consideration, although they have to be based on planning matters.  Please see their very comprehensive website for further details on the planning process.

We don’t know when the application will be going to the planning committee because that’s a matter for the Council to decide.  However, indications are that it will be in September or October.

When we know more about how we intend to phase the redevelopment we will report this.

Meanwhile, work has commenced on the 18 bungalows we are refurbishing in Somerset Crescent.
