Scanning through the comments, many of the objections were on the basis that the local infrastructure cannot support so many new houses.
Concerns included unmanageable pressure on resources such as the school and doctors. Additional traffic, village parking and potential flooding were also mentioned.
Anyone wishing to express their view can do so below.
The opportunity to make a comment remains open until Monday 4th December 2023.

Having lived in Milford for 18 years I agree with all the reasons made by SLAM why such a large development is not acceptable in Milford, so need not repeat them. Occupants of 100 houses is already over any reasonable number that can be absorbed; 170 now requested by builders is insignificantly different in this respect to the earlier and unaccepted 190.
ReplyDeleteMilford has grown in my short period here mainly by in-filling and building two or three houses where there had been just one larger one. This itself may be regrettable but does provide more accommodation without seriously changing the nature of our village. Adding in one large block with likely more than 500 residents and an equivalent number of cars certainly would challenge and change the village as SLAM has said.
This length of our south coast is already virtually one large conurbation from Poole to New Milton and Milford is the only separate, distinct location that stops the conurbation continuing to Lymington. It should be valued and preserved as such and this proposed enlarged addition should be refused.
