Issue details

To seek endorsement and a recommendation to Council to approve the Development Sites and Policies Plan for “Publication” for representations and subsequent submission to the Secretary of State for independent Examination.

The Development Sites and Policies Plan is the second of three documents that comprise the Fareham Local Plan.  It sets out the Council’s approach to managing and delivering development identified in the Core Strategy (together with the additional requirements set out in the South Hampshire Strategy) for the Borough to 2026, except for the area covered by the Welborne Plan.

The Development Sites and Policies Plan (Publication Plan) identifies sites for various types of uses such as housing, employment, retail, community facilities, open spaces etc.  It also provides up-to-date policies for managing development across the Borough (excluding Welborne).

Once adopted, the policies and proposals contained within the Development Sites and Policies Plan will form part of Fareham’s statutory development plan.  The Plan will be a key document in the future planning of the area, and in the determination of planning applications.
