🚨 IMPORTANT UPDATE – WE NEED YOUR HELP NOW 🚨

Firstly, thank you  we are now approaching 800 signatures on this petition. That’s an incredible show of support from the community 👏

However, there’s something really important everyone needs to understand:

👉🏻 Only around 20 formal objections have been submitted to the council so far.

 

⚠️ Why this matters

While the petition shows strength of feeling, it is formal objections that the council must consider when making their decision.

Right now, there is a big gap betweenj the number of people who oppose this development and the number who have actually submitted an objection.

 

If you have signed this petition, please also email your objection.

📧 Email: planning@testvalley.gov.uk
📌 Ref: 26/00695/OUTS

You don’t need to write anything complicated  even a short email outlining your concerns will make a difference.

 

💡 Key concerns include:

- Traffic being forced through Babey Avenue and Shutler Close
- An estimated 500–600 additional vehicles from 230 homes
- Pressure on already stretched local services and schools
- Flood risk and drainage concerns
- Loss of countryside and impact on wildlife

 

🙏🏻 Let’s turn support into action

We’ve shown how much our community cares now we need to make sure our voices are formally heard.

👉🏻 If even a fraction of the 800 people who signed this petition send an objection, it will carry real weight.

Please take a moment today to send your objection and share this update with others.

Together, we can make a difference 💪🏻
