Havant Borough District-Wide Local Plan Frequently Asked Questions

What is your adopted Statutory Development Plan and when was it adopted?
The Havant Borough Local Development Framework (LDF) has now advanced. The older Havant Borough District-Wide Local Plan (HBDWLP) was adopted on 30 September 2005. However, due to implications of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 this plan was only valid until the 30th September 2008 (the point at which it would be 3 years old). Government protocol allowed for certain policies to be saved for continued use beyond this date. The list of saved policies diminishes as each LDF document is adopted, resulting in the policies eventually being fully superseded by the framework.  The most significant document, the Havant Borough Core Strategy was adopted in March 2011.
 

Can I see the Saved Policies mapped on the web site?

Yes, we have an interactive version of the Proposals Map where you can select any area of the map and find information about the saved policies that relate to that area. The written content of the plan comprises a Written Statement document that has been updated to show the saved policies.
 

What associated Local Plan documents are available to me and how can I get hold of them?

A table of publications and how to get hold of them is available here or contact the team below. Many of the associated local plan documents are now outdated but have been provided as an archive on previous policy formation.
