Parish Council Update - April/May 2022
Hordle Housing Developments
The Planning Application for the development
at SS9—Land East of Everton Road,
Hordle was heard at the Parish Council
meeting on 15th February and 30 members
of the public attended. The Parish
Council voted to object to the application.
The full response can be read on the Parish
Council’s website but the key points raised
were:
Although the Parish Council (PC) welcomes
the affordable homes the proposed
scheme will bring to the village, it has serious
concerns about the wider implications
of the scheme, as follows:
1. Lack of pedestrian access onto Silver
Street - the lack of connecting pavements
from the development along Silver Street
will be unsafe.
2. The location of Everton Road junction is
poorly placed with limited visibility.
3. The proposed new road through the
development will become a rat run to
avoid the roundabout at the Ashley Lane/
Silver Street/ Vaggs Lane junction.
4. The increase in traffic from this development
will undoubtedly have a negative
impact on the, narrow, rural roads.
5. The lack of cycling and walking routes in
the plan gives the development a sense of
isolation from the rest of the village.
6. The complete lack of street lighting
would have a negative impact on road
safety, particularly at the access points
onto Silver Street and Everton Road.
7. This development does not meeting
NFDC’s 2012 parking standards and there
is a shortfall of spaces which will also lead
to pressure on parking on roads outside
the site.
8. Silver Street currently suffers from flooding
near the proposed access onto this site
and the situation will be exacerbated by
run off from the new development.
9.The PC wants to see more environmental
measures included in the scheme.
10. The PC is concerned about the robustness
of the proposed arrangements for a
management company to oversee the
management of the public open space,
which relies on residents to pay a fee and
potentially be involved.
