It would appear that in the past promises have been made by certain councillors to preserve the gap between Fareham & Stubbington. The residents now find that consideration is being given to develop the GAP. In a CAT meeting Sean Woodward said that there was a duty to help neighbouring areas (Portsmouth & Gosport) with housing. Gosport Borough Council have said that this is not the case and they do not need Fareham to help with housing. Portsmouth City Council have said that they have a short fall of 3000 houses. This would raise doubts over the numbers needed to be built as Portsmouth Planning Dept say that they are also in negotiation with other councils to provide them with help, Quote
" For us this means Fareham and Havant Borough's and the southern parts of Winchester and East Hampshire District's around the Waterlooville/ Clanfield/ Horndean area".
With all these areas being looked at and the fact that we already have Welbourne as a development I would suggest that we do not need to take the 1700 houses that Mr Woodward seems to think we need and using up lovely agricultural land and recreation area.
