In 2018, the Council set out a major change to it's draft local plan following the Government's changes to the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) which significantly increased the number of homes required in Fareham by 30%. It meant that the Draft Local Plan consulted on in 2017 didn't cover enough housing numbers and would need to be amended.
