Representation form for public consultation
The consultation period runs from 20 July to 9 September 2026. All representations must be returned by 5.00pm on 9 September 2026.
This is the final consultation before the plan is formally submitted for an Examination by an independent Inspector. At this stage, comments can only be made about whether the Plan is legally compliant and/or sound. The Council has prepared a guidance note to explain what is meant by soundness and legal compliance which can be found at: www.havant.gov.uk/localplan.
The form has two parts:
Part A - Personal Details - this only needs to be completed once for each form submission.
Please note that representations are not confidential and will be published on the Council’s website. However, personal details, other than the respondent’s name and/or organisation will be redacted. Personal details will be sent to the Planning Inspectorate in line with the Privacy Notice.
Part B - Your representation(s) - please fill in a separate submission for each representation you wish to make.
Please also use Part B as appropriate to request to be notified of stages of the Local Plan examination and adoption, and to request to participate in the examination hearings.
There is also an option to upload any documents that you wish to support your representation. If you do not have any documents to submit, please leave this section blank and submit the form.
If you wish to comment on more than one part of the plan, please complete and submit a form for each part of the Plan you wish to comment on.
You can also save your progress at any time by clicking ‘Save and Continue Later’ at the foot of any survey page. You will then be sent a link to your email address, from which you can resume the survey. This link will work on any device.
