Update on Havant Draft Local Plan 2036 Havant Borough Residents Alliance, representing 14 local organisations including Havant Civic Society, met with Havant BC planning team to discuss concerns regarding the Local Plan Ann Buckley
Lack of information on Infrastructure, no Transport Assessment, waste water etc. Green field sites and Planning Applications coming ahead of Plan Inspection. Brown field sites, central Havant. Neglect. Thousands of new homes but insufficient Affordable Homes. Lack of emphasis on Historic Environment and vision. Insufficient concern for Green and Blue Environment. Out dated Biodiversity Action Plan. Poor Public Engagement. Consultation response document numbers low. Ann Buckley
Residents are concerned right across the Borough on housing sites, numbers and Policy. There are two central Havant Issues: A. Keep East Street in the Town Centre. B. Keep the East Pallant Car Park. Ann Buckley
What can you do? Contact your ward councillors, County Councillor and Cabinet members. Letters and cards are effective. Look at the information, including draft LP, consultation response on HCS and HBC web sites. Attend the next Civic Society meeting, January 2019 meeting for further update. Attend the Meetings: Next Stage: Cabinet and Full Council on 30 th January from 6pm Deputations from local groups. Councillors Voting. Attend, observe or speak. Final stage: Inspection in Public. Soundness. Ann Buckley
Some changes at Havant Borough Council Simon Jenkins: New Head of Planning. Andy Biltcliffe: Now Head of Regeneration. Focus is Town Centres Regeneration. Cllr Leah Turner: HBC Cabinet lead, replacing Cllr David Guest. Planning Housing and Communities Any questions, contact us via the HCS website. Ann Buckley
