ALMOST 120 residents attended a public meeting in King’s Somborne to oppose plans for 78 homes which they say will spoil the village and cause road safety issues.
They are calling for local experts in planning, media, ecology and campaign tactics to fight the scheme.
The meeting, joined by Romsey MP and former King’s Somborne resident Caroline Nokes, heard concerns about pressure on school places and a precedent being set for further housebuilding.
The development on nearby countryside would increase the number of houses in the village by around ten per cent.
