The SPD (or Supplementary Planning Document) is the final phase of the work undertaken to put together the Waterlooville Town Centre Masterplan.
Over the past 18 months, extensive engagement has been conducted in Waterlooville to hear from residents, businesses, visitors and users on what they want to see in their local town centre. From this feedback, the Masterplan has been created to set out a vision for the future of Waterlooville. The next step is the formal adoption of the SPD, which will allow this Masterplan to meaningfully inform development and investment decisions going forward.

This area covers the historic core of Havant Town Centre and designates this location as one with special architectural and historic character. The council is reviewing this designation as per legislation.
