Holybourne residents have been urged to save the date as a church meeting is being held to discuss plans for 160 homes.

The Holybourne Village Association is holding an “open village planning meeting” from 7pm this Tuesday (July 22) at Holy Rood to explain the Redbrown planning application and is possible impact.

The planning application is outline, so it only seeks to establish the principle of development on the 13-acre site behind 136 to 150 London Road, but approval would all but guarantee development.

A spokesperson for the HVA said: “It is important for as many people as possible to give their opinion and this meeting will serve to show how you can go about it - please try and make it to the meeting.”
