Summary
A scoping opinion has been requested for land south of Romsey Allotments on Southampton Road. This is a step that happens before a full planning application is submitted. The developer asks the council which environmental topics need to be studied in an Environmental Impact Assessment. No description of what is actually proposed has been given at this stage. The site sits directly next to Romsey Allotments. Broadlands, a nationally important Registered Park and Garden, is close by. The nearest school is about a 10–15 minute walk away. Scoping opinions are usually sought for larger or more complex developments. Until a full application is submitted, residents cannot know what is being planned for this land.
What you can do
This is a scoping request, not a planning application, so there is no formal public consultation at this stage. If a full planning application is later submitted, you will be able to comment on it. You can track progress using reference 26/00359/SCOS on Test Valley Borough Council's planning portal.
