Hart District Local Plan

Hart District Local Development is a wide ranging document that details how Hart Council intends to maintain national targets for the provision of the supply of new housing. The District Plan has been written (and occasionally revised) particularly to meet the anticipated local housing needs for the period between 1996 and 2006. The Local plan has been extended to 2009 and and again unil 2010 until it is expected that a new Core Stragegy for the area will replace it. It includes details of forthcoming housing developments of notable size that it requires in order to meet the housing contribution to ensure Hampshire meets the supply targets. Additionally it contains contingency details in the event that projects are either delayed, or if the supply needs are unexpectedly increased. These contingencies are generally referred to as ‘Reserve Sites’. The Local Plan is an interesting document that provides a valuable insight into the development process and the pressures that are placed on Hart Council for the need to satisfy the housing demand. The document is freely available from the Internet by downloading from http://localplan.hart.gov.uk/
