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 (PDF form), completed and returned by post to Head of Development Control, Town Hall, High Street, Gosport PO12 1EB
2. Informal Opinions on Proposals – Pre-application Enquiries
We are able to provide informal advice on proposals prior to submission of a formal application. Scaled drawings and other relevant supporting information from the local list and a draft Design and Access Statement, should be included with your submission, where appropriate. The level of information provided as part of your enquiry, will determine how detailed our response can be and needs to be sufficient to enable consultations to take place with internal and external bodies. Please go the following link for advice on the policies contained within the Gosport Borough Local Plan Review under which your proposal will be considered.
On receipt of your enquiry we will write to you and give a target date for response (usually 28 days). By the target date we will aim to provide you with a written response or, if you would prefer, meet with you to provide advice verbally.
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 in residential units.

Current contributions can be viewed by clicking here (PDF form).
-
Transport Contributions are required by means of a legal agreement where there is a net gain of a residential unit or floor space.
