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
• Economic development
• Natural environment & the coast
• Transport
• Habitats regulations assessments
• Sustainability evidence & other studies
• North of Fareham Strategic Development Area (Welborne)
