How does an abundance of adventure sound? That’s one way to describe the opportunities that lie ahead, both in and around our inspiring new village. Don’t worry, there’ll also be plenty of spaces to relax and unwind in too! The village name pays homage to its scenic countryside setting, with the nature-rich Trodds Copse right on your doorstep. Roe deer in the surrounding woodlands are a treasured feature of the idyllic parishes of Ampfield and Chandler’s Ford, as we hope our village will be too.
 

Phase 2 & 3 Planning Update

Following extensive consultation with our neighbours on the Reserved Matters (detailed) planning Application for Phases 2 and 3 we have made a number of changes that look to address some issues raised through consultation feedback. As a result of the feedback, we consulted with our design team, Test Valley Borough Council planning officers and local stakeholders and have now resubmitted plans to the Council.

The changes include a reduction to the height of the retaining wall along Monks Brook as well as additional planting that will further enhance the Brook. We have also revised the layout to minimise any concerns regarding overlooking.

We held a drop-in event on 28 April 2022 with neighbouring residents and the Parish Council, and made plans available online for those who where not able to attend.

The amendments are described in detail within the Design Statement Addendum (linked below), which summarises the feedback on the original proposal and describes the changes that have been made to address that feedback. The full package of plans will also be made available on the Test Valley Borough Council website under the reference 21/02697/RESS.

Located in the heart of Hampshire, once home to Jane Austen and Charles Dickens, Ampfield Meadows will be the perfect place to soak up the wealth of history and culture, along with having the beautiful New Forest and the stunning coastline of the county within easy reach, offering you the active outdoors lifestyle you’ve always wished for. The local parishes of Ampfield, Chandler’s Ford and Hiltingbury bring the best of village life, providing comforting traditions, whilst the town of Eastleigh offers modern shopping and amenities.

When you’re not out exploring the fabulous surroundings, the village itself provides a variety of ways to re-energise, relax, socialise…there’s something to suit every mood. Imagine a home where you can step out of your front door to stroll through beautifully landscaped gardens, enjoy a little me-time in your own wellness spa and gym, and meet with friends and family at the stylish brasserie, bistro and café. All set within a warm and friendly community.

Ampfield Meadows will be a place where age matters less. A place to enjoy a varied and active lifestyle. We know how important independence is to living the way you want, and so we actively support our residents to continue having just that. The village environment has been carefully designed to promote everyday wellbeing - from the accessibility and ease of use in each home, to the social and physical benefits of the clubhouse facilities, wellness spa and gym.

However, in time many of us may require additional support to continue living well. Ampfield Meadows will provide tailored support, as and when you may need it – providing priceless peace of mind.
