In the draft Local Plan, published in March, land at Stoneham is identified for potential use for park and ride. This land is the playing fields on both sides of Stoneham Lane up to the boundary with Eastleigh. Other forms of development will be permitted where a strategic need can be identified and this cannot be accommodated elsewhere. However the Plan says this should not prejudice the ability to provide for park and ride in the Stoneham area.
Forms for supporting or objecting to the Plan should be returned no later than 11th May. The draft Local Plan may be seen at public libraries. They also have a supply of forms.
