Andover town centre masterplan

In 2020 Test Valley Borough Council adopted a masterplan for Andover, which was developed with nationally renowned consultants HemingwayDesign and NEW masterplanning.

The vision for the town was created using feedback from more than 1,100 people who shared their views on the emerging vision, along with the 3,000 responses to our initial public survey.  

Below you can take a look through the final masterplan report, which outlines an exciting new era for the town. We have also created three flythrough videos, focusing on the Wellbeing Quarter, the River Anton and the Chantry Centre, which will take you on a journey through Andover and demonstrate how the rejuvenated town centre could look.
