Eastleigh borough Council have given a large scale housing development the green light. The development will see one thousand four hundred new homes being built on farm land and a golf course near Botley. The green belt development will also include a primary school and significant road changes.
Hundreds of people turned up on Monday to hear the verdict
on the proposed Boorley Green housing plans. The meeting continued until
12:45pm and many residents were very disappointed when the council announced
that the plans had been approved.
The controversial decision has become a key issue in the
Eastleigh by-election. The Tory candidate, Maria Hutchings, says that she is
disappointed and the council has made the wrong decision.
However the Liberal Democrats, who back the plans, think they
will gain the respect of the voters as they make the hard decisions and
criticised Maria Hutchings for not speaking up during the meeting.
