The Council adopted the Local Plan Review on 17 May 2006. The Local Plan Review sets out the Council's proposals for the development and use of land from 2001 to 2016, and forms the basis for dealing with planning applications, but in line with the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 it was only saved for 3 years. The Secretary of State has issued a direction with effect from 17th May 2009 saving the majority of the policies. These 'saved' policies now constitute the Gosport Borough Local Plan Review and will remain until they are superseded by the Local Development Framework. Policies that have not been saved are in most cases covered by national planning guidance.
