New Village Design Statement 2025 Adopted

We are delighted to announce that an updated version of the Village Design Statement has now been adopted by Test Valley Borough Council.

The Village Design Statement (VDS) aims to guide the design of any new development so that it is inkeeping with the village’s essential character. It describes the village as it is today and how we would like it to develop. This can then be used to guide planning and development.

The current VDS was adopted by the Test Valley Borough Council as supplementary planning guidance so TVBC take it into account when considering planning and listed building applications.

The Village Design Statement can be viewed here.

Please read the VDS if you are thinking of altering your home.
