Planning Matters
As a civic society we respond to planning applications which affect the development of Romsey.  Two separate committees respond on behalf of The Society.  The Planning Committee responds from the built environment point of view, taking into account design, planning law, traffic and infrastructure implications and aesthetics etc.  The Natural Environment Committee responds to the implications for the natural environment, ecosystem and biodiversity.
The population of Romsey has grown significantly recently and is set to continue to grow.  There are  a number of developments proposed currently and the Society is actively involved in campaigning for these to be for the long term benefit of the people and ecosystems of Romsey and District rather than short term profit.

Find out more about what we are doing and how you can get involved:

Romsey Flood Alleviation Scheme 

Picture
Romsey has a long history of flooding, with recorded flood events in 1852, 1876, 1877, 1891, 1894, 1903, 1913, 1928, 1929, 1947, 1960, 1974, 1990, 1993, 1999, and 2000.  In the winter of 2013-14 significant areas of the town were flooded and plans were put in place to alleviate the effects of future flooding events.  These were formally completed in 2022.
