Local Plan Evidence Studies
In preparing the Local Plan, a range of 'evidence gathering' is undertaken to ensure a credible evidence base for planning policies and proposals. Generally this 'evidence' takes the form of research, surveys and technical studies on particular topics that are produced for the principal purpose of informing the Local Plan.
Evidence studies currently available include:
- Housing - Overview of housing needs and affordability and projections.
- Natural environment & the coast - Key findings on biodiversity, coastal erosion and green infrastructure.
- Transport - Traffic modeling and public transport assessments.
- Sustainability & other studies - Climate resilience and energy efficiency studies.
- North of Fareham Strategic Development Area (Welborne) - Strategic vision and infrastructure plans.
