Velmore Infrastructure First
1,000 homes at Velmore could reshape traffic, drainage, schools, health services and green space. Growth must pay its way before the pressure lands.

Proposed fix
Demand clear infrastructure, drainage, transport, construction and ecological mitigation before pressure lands.
Progress: Evidence being checked
Public launch target: first 100 residents
The evidence base
- Problem
- Large growth can create pressure before infrastructure, mitigation and monitoring are properly secured.
- Evidence we already have
- Eastleigh Borough Council says the Environmental Statement must assess the whole project, including cross-boundary effects on Eastleigh residents, infrastructure, highways, environmental receptors and regulatory interests. EBC also says public transport and active travel assumptions must be backed by evidence on frequency, reliability, capacity, deliverability, funding and route quality.
- Evidence still needed
- Transport modelling, drainage evidence, construction routes, ecological mitigation, school and health capacity, monitoring and enforceable commitments.
- What residents can do
- Submit evidence on congestion, flooding, walking routes, service pressure, construction impacts and green space.
