To seek endorsement and approval of Fareham Borough Council’s response which is detailed in this report, to be submitted to the Government’s consultation on ‘Planning for the right homes in the right places: consultation proposals’.
On 14 September 2017, the Government published a document entitled ‘Planning for the right homes in the right places: consultation proposals’ (Appendix A) for an eight-week consultation period. This report briefly outlines the key proposals in the consultation document. It explains that the Council is concerned about both the nature and negative impact of the proposed standardised method for calculating local housing need. It effectively undermines the collaborative work already undertaken by the Council and with PUSH, the Partnership for Urban South Hampshire. The proposed approaches for viability assessment and increases in planning application fees are broadly supported.
