ADD UPDATE, 9 December 2025: If you’re not sure about whether to go to tomorrow’s (Wednesday’s) crucial planning meeting to consider Bloor Homes’ appalling proposal to build 245 houses alongside Mortimer Lane, here’s why we need you there.
If Fair Oak and Horton Heath Local Area Committee approve the application, it’s the tip of a massive development iceberg. It will open the floodgates to bigger, much worse plans in the pipeline. On 16 December, developers Croudace will launch a ‘consultation’ on their outline application for 3,400 homes in the Option A area (Mortimers Lane to the Fox and Hounds). They will obviously be watching the result of Wednesday’s meeting closely, so it’s a chance for us to send them a very strong message: ‘Stop bullying Eastleigh’.
If we want to prevent Fair Oak from being submerged in urban sprawl, with all that means for our roads and broader infrastructure, then please show your support as we seek to persuade the committee to reject Bloor Homes’ proposal.
This why we need the hall to be full… it could make all the difference.
Time: 6.30pm, Wednesday 10 December
Place: Woodland Community Centre, 55 Savernake Way, SO50 8DH
To speak at the meeting, email [email protected]
If you want to tell Croudace what you think of their proposals, their drop-in ‘consultation’ is on 16 December from 4.00pm until 7.00pm at St Thomas’s Church, Fair Oak, SO50 7BG
Thank you to everyone for your wonderful support!
