A local plan sets out local planning policies and identifies how land is used, determining what will be built where. Adopted local plans provide the framework for development across England.1 Jan 2012 |

The Council has passed another milestone on its way to preparing a new Local Plan. We have completed the formal consultation stage on our draft Local Plan. We received more than 1,200 representations on the draft plan, which went out to consultation between April and June. All comments received will be used alongside evidence studies to create the final Plan we intend to put to the Secretary of State. The new Local Plan will shape the future of our district. We are committed to involving our communities in preparing the new plan, which sets out our vision for Hart up to 2032. It identifies where housing, shopping and employment land should be located and the infrastructure required to support this growth, such as new roads, schools, health services and sewerage.The proposed policies in the Plan will be used to help make decisions on planning applications in Hart. Once we have prepared the final Plan we will hold a further public consultation period towards the end of the year 30 April 2017 Your views wanted - have your say on the future of Hart's towns, villages and countryside.

26 March 2017 - From Hart District Council We are continuing work on our new Local Plan which will shape the future of our district. We have listened to what you said in previous consultations and used that to narrow down the options for delivering homes and jobs in Hart over the next few years. Building a new settlement was the public's most favoured option in our consultation last year. In preparing the new plan we are: • exploring how much land is likely to be needed for different uses; • identifying the right areas and sites to make sure that we have a healthy supply of land identified for development; • working with our neighbouring councils and the county council, expert advisors (such as the Environment agency and Natural England) and infrastructure providers (such as Thames Water) to look at how the impacts of development and growth can be managed across Hart and beyond; • supporting parish and town councils which are working on neighbourhood The next stage is the publication of a draft Local Plan document for public consultation. It will include allocations for new homes across the district, along with other generic policies. The consultation is not a set of final decisions as we want to hear your views on the draft Plan. Our preferred approach is to build as much as we can on brownfield land, including creating a new community at Hartland Park. Some of our new homes will, however, need to be on greenfield sites and our preferred choice is to focus much of that growth on delivering a new village at Murrell Green. This will help us make sure that the right infrastructure is put in place to support the new community, which will include land for new schools, shops, employment, green space, as well as 1,800 new homes. We will then move to the last stage of preparation where we will publish the final version of our Local Plan that we intend to submit to the Secretary of State. We will do this towards the end of 2017. It will then be subject to independent assessment which will also enable representations to come forward that can be considered at examination.
