Welcome to the Itchenor Society website
The Society has a resident membership approaching 350, representing the majority of the households in the village. It has intervened only in planning applications which are considered to affect the village as a whole, for example the creation of a new road into the village. The Society raises funds from village events for the benefit of local causes such as the Church, the Memorial Hall, and the refurbishment of the viewing platform on the Hard.
The Society has an on-going range of social events that bring the community together as well as raising funds to help improve the village.

'For the first time in ten years our Wreath Laying Service did not take place on the Hard as planned.
Unfortunately the wind and rain made it very difficult for the service to go ahead on the Hard.
Therefore at the last minute the service was held at St Nicholas Church, we are very grateful to all those involved who helped with the relocation and the service’.

Updates for Village Design Statement
Posted 22nd Octobeer 2015
When the 2012 version of the Village Design Statement (VDS) was printed, we anticipated the need for updating as and when there were changes made to local planning rules. These sections were placed in Appendix 6 and Appendix 7 and are referred to throughout the VDS. Now that the Local Plan has been approved, we have issued the appropriate revisions to Appendix 6 and Appendix 7. We would appreciate it if you could take a moment to click here to see the revisions.
Thank you.
