Background
New Forest District Council adopted a new Local Plan in July 2020. This determines where housing will be built across the council area until 2036, with 10,420 homes needed over the Local Plan period. Allocating homes through the Local Plan allows the council, service providers and others to ensure that supporting services for new residents are built into long term plans for new homes, meaning that developments will be sustainable for the future.
The Village of Hordle sits between New Milton to the west, Lymington to the east and south west of the New Forest National Park. Hordle itself comprises two parts, each located to the north and south of Green Belt.
The land east of Everton Road occupies land that has been identified within the New Forest District Council Local Plan 2016-2036 as Strategic Site 9. This means the site has been allocated for at least 100 homes depending on the housing mix provided and level of open space.
