Pre-Application Advice

Fees

The fees for applications from 6 April 2008 can be viewed by clicking here.

 

1. The need for Planning Permission

 

If you would like to find out whether your proposal requires planning permission, you may visit the Planning Portal: Interactive House, where you will be able to make a self assessment.  However, you are advised to check with us whether there are any local constraints such as conservation areas or listed buildings which would affect your proposal, or restrictions on permitted development rights imposed on the original permission for your property.

 

To ensure all relevant details are considered a form is available on request from the Development Control Section (Tel 023 9254 5408) or can be downloaded, completed and returned by post to Head of Development Control, Town Hall, High Street, Gosport PO12 1EB

 

2.  Informal Opinions on Proposals

 

Unfortunately we are unable to respond to informal proposals prior to submission.  For policy advice please go the following link.

 

On some sites there may be issues which need to be addressed before your proposal can be considered acceptable and it is in your interests to resolve these issues at the pre-application stage. The following are the most common reasons for delay in determining planning applications:

 

  • Open Space Contributions are required by means of a legal agreement where there is a net gain of a residential unit. The agreement is made by the legal owner of the land and we require it to be ready for signature within 8 weeks of the date of submission of the application or the date of the Regulatory Board at which the related application is to be considered.   Current contributions can be viewed by clicking here.
  • Transport Contributions are required by means of a legal agreement where there is a net gain of a residential unit or floor space. The agreement is made by the legal owner of the land and we require it to be ready for signature within 8 weeks of the date of submission of the application or the date of the Regulatory Board at which the related application is to be considered.
  • A series of documents from Gosports Local List will be required to register applications from 6 April 2008.  A summary of the requirements can be viewed by clicking here.  Full details are set out in a spreadsheet which can be viewed by clicking here. Further information about the documents listed across the spreadsheet can be viewed by clicking on the name of the document.  The application forms listed in the left hand column link to the national and local requirements for each application form.  The red cells indicate that the document must be submitted with that application and the information in the cell gives the policy basis for the requirement.  The yellow cells indicate that submission is conditional on the criteria listed within the cell with the policy justification
  • Contaminated Land will require remediation.  Please contact The Environment Agency or the Council's Environmental Health Section for further advice.
