The Building a Better Future Plan is an important plan for everyone who lives, works, visits, or invests in the Borough of Havant. It will be the Local Plan for our borough, setting out the vision for the future and how we will collectively meet the development and infrastructure challenges ahead. Putting this Plan together represents an opportunity to set a fresh direction for how we balance the need to provide homes and jobs whilst ensuring the surrounding environment isn’t harmed.
This survey follows on from the previous theme-based consultation that was conducted in 2022. Based on the responses received from that exercise, the Building a Better Future Plan has been drafted to reflect the priorities and issues raised by residents and stakeholders in our area. We are now consulting on the full Draft Local Plan.
As well as the Local Plan, we are also consulting on the following strategies that will sit alongside the Local Plan. These are:
Waterlooville Town Centre Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) - This document sets out the proposed Masterplan for Waterlooville Town Centre, which would form part of the Council's planning framework. This has been informed by extensive public engagement conducted since late 2023.
St. Faith’s Conservation Area Review - The Conservation Area covers the historic core of Havant Town Centre, with an accompanying management plan that sets out how this area will be preserved or enhanced. This has been designated as a Conservation Area since 1994 and was last reviewed in 2007.
These consultations will offer you the opportunity to comment on these specific proposed policy documents.
