The Southern Parishes include the villages of Clanfield, Horndean and Rowlands Castle.

The overarching priorities for the Southern Parishes include:

  • improving facilities and infrastructure for cycling and walking
  • improving connectivity to Havant Thicket, Dunsbury Way and Waterlooville
  • supporting the villages to develop and articulate a strong sense of place with separate, but linked, identities
  • effectively deploying Section 106 and the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) and other monies to support neighbourhood plan objectives and improvements that deliver the most benefit to the town

In part, the above will be achieved by building on the work that is being done in Rowlands Castle to develop and consult on a Neighbourhood Plan. In addition, it will be vital to ensure that the development at 'Land East of Horndean' fully reflects the character of the local area and has the right infrastructure to support the population across the Southern Parishes.
