Consultation 28 October 2011 – 3 January
2012
Eastleigh Borough Council published a
consultation draft of a new plan for the borough on 28 October
2011. This marked the start of a nine week consultation
period which ended on 3 January 2012.
We need a new local plan because:
- Our existing local plan – the Eastleigh
Borough Local Plan Review 2001-2011 – is increasingly out
of date
- More land must be identified for development
to meet future needs.
- There are issues to be addressed in the
borough – for example, more homes are needed for local people,
including more affordable homes, we need to encourage
economic growth, and we also need to protect our countryside, in
particular the gaps between our towns and villages, biodiversity
and our heritage. We want to encourage healthy lifestyles and
better quality development, and to tackle issues such as climate
change.
The new local plan explains the Council’s
strategy for addressing the issues identified, and
includes proposals for new development. It is supported by
research and evidence
set out in a series of background papers.
The draft plan is also available to view at
the Civic Offices, at your local parish or town council office, and
in local libraries.
