Fareham Borough Local Plan Review

Saved Policies

On commencement of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, the Local Plan Review became part of the Local Development Framework with its policies being saved for three years. As that period expired on 27th September 2007 it became necessary for the Council to seek the Secretary of State’s approval to save a number of policies until new Development Plan Documents are adopted.

This letter from the Secretary of State (34 Kb) dated 25 September 2007 lists all Local Plan Policies that have been retained. There is also a table showing the expired policies and the reasons for their expiration (19 Kb) .

The Fareham Borough Local Plan Review (1.35 Mb) prepared by the Borough Council, was adopted in March and published in June 2000. It provides guidance on the use and development of land to 2006, although many of the policies will have a much longer lifespan.

Most development will occur within the existing urban areas, particularly the principal identified growth areas at Locks Heath/Segensworth and Whiteley. The countryside, outside the existing urban areas, is generally safeguarded from development. Much of the countryside has additional policy protection due to its strategic gap function that prevents settlements from sprawling or merging, or its international, national or local environmental importance.
