Gosport Borough Local Plan 2040

The Draft Gosport Borough Local Plan 2040 (previously called the Gosport Borough Local Plan 2038) identifies sites for housing, employment and other land uses as well protecting the Borough's important open space, nature conservation and heritage features. It also considers ways in which we adapt and deal with the impacts of climate change. Once adopted the new Local Plan will be used for determining future planning applications. It will cover the period to 2040.

Further information on the Regulation 19 consultation is set out in the Council's Local Development Scheme (LDS).

It has been necessary to extend the end date of the emerging Local Plan from 2038 to 2040 to ensure that there is at least a 15-year span from the date of anticipated adoption, in accordance with Government guidance.

Previous consultation (referred to as Regulation 18)

In 2021, the Council undertook a 10 week consultation (referred to as Regulation 18) on the draft Local Plan (previously called the Gosport Borough Local Plan 2038).
