Havant Borough Council is the first local authority in Hampshire to have an adopted Core Strategy adopted Allocations Plan and a Community Infrastructure Levy Charging Schedule in operation.
The Local Plan (Allocations) was adopted by Havant Borough Council at the Full Council meeting held on 23 July 2014. It forms the Havant Borough Local Plan together with the Core Strategy which was adopted in March 2011.
The Local Plan (Allocations) was confirmed as sound by an independent Government Inspector on 7 July 2014 following public examination hearings held between 29 April and 1 May 2014.
This document identifies sites for employment housing and green space. Together with the Core Strategy (Adopted March 2011) the Allocations Plan makes up the full Local Plan for the Borough of Havant.
Within the Inspectors report Sue Turner RIBA MRTPI IHBC BARCH MSC states I conclude that The Local Plan (Allocations) satisfies the requirements of Section 20(5) of the 2004 Act and meets the criteria for soundness in the National Planning Policy Framework.
Councillor David Guest responsible for Planning Policy and the Built Environment said: This is an important milestone for Havant Borough Council and is an accumulation of many years of hard work and community involvement . The people of the borough have helped shape this key document which is an excellent platform for future planning applications and will encourage jobs and growth in Havant Borough.
