The Inspector examining Fareham Borough Council’s Local Plan 2037, Helen Hockenhull, has issued her final Report that the Plan provides an appropriate basis for the planning of the Borough, provided that a number of main modifications are made to it. The Local Plan document will now be updated accordingly and taken forward for adoption by the Council, at which point it will form the statutory Development Plan against which all planning applications will be determined.
Whilst the Inspector acknowledged the significant unmet housing need in the sub region; the relevant local planning authorities continue to work to progress their individual Local Plans and there are wider planning reforms afoot. The Council have therefore committed to an early review of the Plan to monitor housing delivery.
