BUILDING A BETTER FUTURE in Emsworth – Really?
Emsworth public display about a new local plan is on
Thursday November 3 from 1500 – 1900 at the
Baptist Church
–
BE THERE PLEASE! It’s a walk-in display with council staff
there to chat to or ask questions.
The Government threw out the Havant official new plan that
included building 315 new homes a year and now the planners
have to aim at 516 new homes a year in Havant
borough. Do you want to encourage lots of new building in
Emsworth?
It’s important that local people go and tell the planners
where they think they should accept plans for new houses –
and where to avoid.
It will take at least a year to get this new document
prepared to include further consultation along the way.
That document, called ‘Building
a Better Future’, will be put in for inspection by
the Government in early 2024, but is likely to take until
2025 before it is accepted and put into practice.
In the meantime planners do not have an up-to-date
guidance document.
Information about the development of this new plan is out
for all to read at
https://www.havant.gov.uk/local-plan
and the online list of things to comment on is there.
You don’t have to fill everything in – just the
things you are most interested in – especially if you feel
there are certain Emsworth places that should be protected
from any further development.
